Self Help Radio 060424: Helicopters


While I was doing the show this morning I had the strangest feeling of déjà vu - had I done a show about helicopters before? I have been making Self Help Radio episodes for 22 years & I most definitely have repeated myself - both accidentally & deliberately - but that's why I created the page that lists all the themes I've explored. Helicopters as a theme wasn't there. I must have been remembering a radio I did in a parallel universe.

Which is sad. I had hoped that parallel universe me had found something more constructive to do with his time.

Meanwhile! We had a good time pretending to be whirling about in the sky for a couple of hours. We chatted with helicopter weirdoes, we heard helicopter songs, & I was very lucky it wasn't as loud as it could've been. My ears are a bit worn out. & I might need theme some more in my life.

Listen to the show either at the KBOO Self Help Radio page or at the Self Help Radio website. At the show's website, please use the username SHR & the password selfhelp to access. All the stuff that happened is listed below.
