Self Help Radio 052124: Eagles


Eagles are such majestic creatures. They symbolize beauty, bravery, courage, honor, pride, determination, & grace, among other things (according to the internet). Sportsball teams are named after them, although it's certain their deadly talons would destroy most sportsballs. They're not just the national birds of the USA but as powerful for some as the flag. Despite all this, no one stepped up to stop Self Help Radio as it did a show with the theme "eagles." Does no one love America?

Luckily eagles are powerful enough beasts that they can endure the insult. & you might enjoy all the songs about them if you're an eagle aficionado. Plus there are interviews with eagle-related folk. I thought maybe I should've done this show around the fourth of July but now I think I'm glad I didn't. I'd be chased out of town by firework!

Listen to the show now either at the Self Help Radio website (where you're need the username SHR & the password selfhelp) or the KBOO website (where you won't need those). The songs & the talking that happened are noted below. Enjoy, & as I've said more than once, I'm sorry, America.
