Self Help Radio is not a self-help radio show. It might be something worse.

Each week host Gary explores a different theme with music & with talk. Guests are silly. The music is eclectic. It's kind of a mess.

Shows are archived here & also at the Self Help Radio website. There's a blog. There's Twitter. There's Facebook.

Upcoming themes are on the website. Send ideas for those shows or themes to explore at gary at self help radio dot net or by text 971-319-4847.

Self Help Radio 3/30/21: Cinnamon

Airs at: Tue, 03/30/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
The Self Help Radio Cinnamon Challenge - which is not the same as the "cinnamon challenge" you know about - is simply to listen to three hours of songs about cinnamon.  Can you?  Will you?  Do you dare? But wait!  It's not just songs.  We also speak with the host's spiritua... Read more

Self Help Radio 3/23/21: Tourism

Airs at: Tue, 03/23/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
"I have traveled a good deal in Concord," said Thoreau, who wasn't much of a tourist.  In fact, I am not sure why I thought of that quote in relation to this episode of Self Help Radio, which was about tourism.  Hm. The fate of tourism should we emerge from under the curren... Read more

Self Help Radio 3/16/21: Daggers

Airs at: Tue, 03/16/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Be careful, this show has some sharp edges! Yes, this week's episode of Self Help Radio is about daggers.  Which aren't quite knives.  I suppose a dagger is a kind of knife, but all knives are not daggers.  I think daggers are fancier.  They have two sharp edges.  If it's ... Read more

Self Help Radio 3/9/21: Victory!

Airs at: Tue, 03/09/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
A rare victory for the underdog radio show. Although it's the show itself declaring victory & it's not entirely clear what the battle was. Something is rotten in the state of Self Help Radio... Never you mind!  Some sort of struggle happens whenever this show gets on the a... Read more

Self Help Radio 3/2/21: Lords & Ladies

Airs at: Tue, 03/02/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Some people - doubtless of the lower classes - have spread the scandalous allegation that Self Help Radio made a show about "lords & ladies" in a shameless attempt for patronage.  Imagine if royal riches could pour upon KBOO! Alas, nothing is farther from the truth!  We at... Read more

Self Help Radio 2/23/21: Attitude

Airs at: Tue, 02/23/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
Gosh, such attitude! Three hours of attitude.  In a radio program.  But is that any different from most of what you hear on the radio?  We think not. We think you'll be quite please with the attitude this show has taken with the theme of "attitude."  In addition to some obv... Read more

Self Help Radio 2/16/21: Souvenirs

Airs at: Tue, 02/16/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
  It's not often one gets a souvenir from a radio program, but this week's Self Help Radio is one giant souvenir.  It's probably not going to fit on your knick-knack shelf, & won't be collectible in any sense, but it is something you can keep, & use to remember an experien... Read more

Self Help Radio 2/9/21: Valentine's Day 2021 - Make You Mine

Airs at: Tue, 02/09/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
  Self Help Radio has a long tradition of celebrating that corporate day of love, Valentine's Day, with special themes geared to that day, & this year's Valentine's show is no different.  Love being possessive, we've focused on songs in which the artists to their loves wis... Read more

Self Help Radio 2/2/21: The Glow Show

Airs at: Tue, 02/02/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
  A glowing radio show. Or a radio show about glow. Both are surprisingly visible in the dark. This episode of Self Help Radio positively glows.  Most probably because of the preponderance of glow songs within, but also because it features interviews with a fellow named E... Read more

Self Help Radio 1/26/21: A Private Show

Airs at: Tue, 01/26/2021 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for:  Self Help Radio
  A private show? On the public airwaves? Is such a thing possible?  Not really, no. But on this episode of Self Help Radio, we have songs about all sorts of private things, from property to parties, eyes to Idaho.  In addition we speak to a privacy expert who may or may ... Read more
