This is true: a listener called me to tell me that, as a child, he lived in Germany & his father fished in the North Sea. He said he had nightmares that his father would drown regularly. I worried that a show about drowning might be triggering for him, but he said no - he actually now dreamed regularly about being rescued from drowning by aliens in spaceships that looked like transparent cubes.
It's true, I fretted aloud that this particular show's subject matter might be too gruesome, & in fact another listener told me that he fully expected the show to be way more sad than it actually was. Which, come to think of it, is a little triumph for Self Help Radio, which in its way is always way more sad than it means to be.
In any event, if you can stomach a radio show about drowning, which features music & interviews, you can listen now at the KBOO website, or at the show's website at Self Help Radio dot net. If you choose the show's website, make sure you remember the username is SHR & the password is selfhelp. All the things that happen on the show are below.
Be safe out there!
