Random thoughts & other unrelated information from the dude who does "Self Help Radio" - a radio show which originated in Austin, Texas & now makes noise in Portland, Oregon. Listen to new & old shows & look at playlists at selfhelpradio.net.

This Week In Self Help June 28 & 30 + July 2
In 2017, I took advantage of a - I don't know what you'd call it - a program? - something that they had at my first station, KVRX, in Austin, wherein they allowed alumni to come during the interim periods - usually the winter break - & deejay there. I was in Fort Worth at the time, & so I schlepped down to Austin & played on the radio for like three hours. Anyway, I found this book the kids had left out to write stuff in & discovered this wondrously sweet thing someone had written in a moment of pure vulnerability - "how do I make friends?" - & it was so much the reason so many of the people I knew at college radio came to college radio. I took a picture of it.
No idea why that came into my head. Here's this week for you.
Sunday June 28. The Dickenbock Report XRAY FM. Queen Victoria stuff. Listen here.
Tuesday June 30. Self Help Radio KBOO FM. Howard Gently Forever & Ever. Listen here. Or listen here.
Tuesday June 30. Corporate Standardized Programming KBOO FM. Music by artists we lost in early 2026. Listen here (after Self Help Radio). Or listen here.
Thursday July 2. Subbing a show on KBOO. Playing lots of new releases. Listen here.
(Still don't know how to make friends, of course.)
