Self Help Radio 052824: Drain


Wait, the theme of this show is "drain"? Not "drains" or "draining"? Just "drain"?

Yes, that's the theme because it's not just about drains. It's about the word "drain" in all its forms. It's clunky but what else is a theme-based radio show supposed to do?

Lots of songs hopefully fitting that dream plus we talk to a person in Portland who works on the drain, to a fellow who finds things in drains, to the artist/creator of the superhero The Drain, & our resident cinephile comes by to talk about films featuring drains. It's probably quite a draining experience.

The last hour here is an episode of Corporate Standardized Programming commemorating recent artist deaths.
