Whither The Middle?

(image from here.)

Tonight's Self Help Radio on KBOO has the theme "the middle."  What might that mean?  Middle of the road (as pictured above)?  Middle school?  Middle age - or the Middle Ages?  Middle children?  (Yeah, definitely that one.)  Middle names?  The Middle East?  (Probably not a lot of that.)  The middle of the night?  Caught in the middle?  Stuck in the middle?  In the middle?

All this & perhaps more, although one doesn't want to overpromise.  The middle is the average, the middle is not the extreme, so we'll play it safe & say it will be a middling show.  Fair to middling.  In fact, the show is on in the middle of the night!  & that's where the idea for the show came from.  Someone asked me if it was hard to do a show in the middle of the night & then suggested "middle of the night" would be a good theme.  & I said, "Maybe just middle?"  & the seed planted then bears fruit tonight.

In you're in Portland, it's on 90.7 fm - not really the middle of the dial, sorry - & online at kboo.fm - which might just be in the middle of the world wide web.   It's on midnight to 3am - hey! I said the middle of the night didn't I?
