Self Help Radio 111522: Chains

Chains bind, but they also protect. Chains enable machinery to work. Metaphorical chains keep us in places we don't want to be. & chains is the theme of this week's Self Help Radio. In addition to lots of songs about chains (including, as you can see below, sets about chain gangs, daisy chains, & balls & chains - or is it ball & chains? - never mind), I talk to a performance artist who chained herself another person for a year; to the world record holder for collecting bicycle chains; to a diet writer who claims he lost weight eating at fast food chain restaurants; & to a propagandist who uses chains in his work. Also: idioms! I wrote that as if idioms excited you as much as they excite me. So all you have to lose are your chains! But you'll get chains in this show. So. Call it even?
