Loneliness is part & parcel of radio. While you might have many people listening, you are in general alone in a room with lots of humming equipment & very rarely with other humans. Okay, that's kind of the old-style deejay way. Some people do radio with friends. Some have talk shows. Some take callers. But the sort of the radio I do has always been tinged with a kind of loneliness. I remember a volunteer at Freeform Portland telling me she didn't think being on the radio would be so lonely.
It seems natural therefore to have a radio show about loneliness, yes? & that's what happened this morning on Self Help Radio. Songs about loneliness - not necessarily songs about being lonely - plus a discussion of movies featuring loneliness & three callers who shared with us their situation with loneliness.
Listen to the show now either at the KBOO website or at the Self Help Radio website. If you choose the latter, please remember the username & password to access/download the files. Those are SHR & selfhelp respectively.
Did the show make anyone feel less lonely? Oh dear me no.
