Maybe not entirely concluded. We made it to January 2017.
The show contained lots of Howard Gently bits - improvised with my late friend Russell playing the Reverend Doctor - paired with songs from the shows the interviews were on. In a few airbreaks I contextualized things if needed. I tried not to get too sad. It's so very strange to have recordings of a familiar & beloved voice that you know you'll never hear again in real life. & I am so grateful I have those recordings.
& yeah, I understand this is a very personal project & may not appeal to everyone. But perhaps you'll enjoy two old friends trying their best to crack each other up. If only I had saved the whole sessions!

You can listen to this show in two places: on the KBOO website, & on the Self Help Radio website. Should you choose the latter, you will probably need a username & password to download. Those are SHR & selfhelp. The playlist is below. Please enjoy.
Or as Dr Gently would say, "Blessed be."
