Self Help Radio 100124: Oysters

(Original image from here*)

Hey that was fun! Fun to find songs about oysters, fun to talk about oysters. I'm very sure I wouldn't have fun eating oysters - even when I did eat dead animals, I didn't much like seafood - plus I watched a lot of Youtube videos about oysters & I don't think I could even touch such slimy things. They remind me of the slimy brussel sprouts they tried to make me eat as a kid (I'm from the South). But oysters are fascinating creatures & humans have eaten them for a long time & so they have found their way into art & song & this show I hope demonstrated a small hint of that.

Also you know there were silly interviews.

Listen to show when you want at either the KBOO website or the Self Help Radio website. For the latter please remember username SHR & password selfhelp. Lots of things happened on the show, they are listed below.

It starts with the poor oysters in the Lewis Carroll poem!
