Self Help Radio 050421: Blankets


Finally! A radio program you can wrapped yourself in to keep warm!

Or is that fair? Are radio waves - or sound waves coming from your computer - enough to blanket you in the same way your favorite cover might? Yes, we're overselling a bit. But there's a comfort, surely, in a celebration of one of your favorite things - as your blanket surely is!

Self Help Radio today celebrates the blanket.  We talk to a librarian about books featuring blankets.  We talk to our friend Chuck about films featuring blankets.  & we speak to Hollywood MyBlanket guy Denver Smithell.  Hopefully you have a better blanket than the MyBlanket.  Those are kind of awful.

Let this show be your security blanket today.
