Self Help Radio 110822: Alice's Show


(images found on the Wikipedia Commons*)

While this show failed to find an Alice who wanted to talk to the show about being an Alice - & to be fair, there were some who were willing but not available this past week - I think you can say Self Help Radio did its best to represent as many Alices as possible, in song & with commentary.

As I usually say when I do these kinds of shows, I hope you know an Alice you can share this with.  Or if you're an Alice yourself, even better - you can think the show is for you!  Because of course it is.

The show is available now at both the KBOO website & at the Self Help Radio website.  If you listen to it at the show's website, you'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) but you'll be able to download it if you want.  Everything that happened on the show is listed below.

Who's in the collage above?  There's a legend at the very bottom of this post!
