Self Help Radio 020425: Nickels


Just to let you know: there were very few nickels harmed in the making of this radio show. Just the one above, marred by the Self Help Radio logo. The show has the utmost respect for nickels. Nothing like the scorn the world has for pennies.

At this point, I have nothing else to say about nickels. Two hours of music & talk did it. You can listen & find out. The show is currently at the KBOO website. It's also at the Self Help Radio website. Remember you need to use SHR as a username & selfhelp as a password to access that latter file. Anyway, everything that happened on the show (more or less) is noted below.
