Whither Molly Revisited (The 23rd Anniversary Show)?

On October 9, 2002, Self Help Radio premiered on KOOP in Austin. This week will be its 23rd anniversary. It has appeared on radio stations in four states, including on three (!) different stations in Portland. It has been places in its over-two-decades on the air.

In March of 2007, there was an episode of Self Help Radio dedicated to the late Molly Ivins, who had died that year of cancer. She was a force in Texas journalism for years, a smart, funny, insightful writer. To pay tribute, I played a bunch of songs to & about women named Molly.

For my anniversary shows, I revisit a theme. I chose this one because there are so many songs about people named Molly. In addition, I will talk to all the Mollys I know. I know three Mollys.

That's happened tonight on KBOO - 90.7fm & kboo dot fm - from 12-3am. Tell all the Mollys you know! You probably know more than I do.
