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 Bluesky. 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 7/30/24: Catastrophe

Airs at: Tue, 07/30/2024 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for Self Help Radio
You would think an episode of Self Help Radio about catastrophe would be redundant, wouldn't you? This show has lots of tunes about catastrophe as well as interviews - with a reporter, a college professor, & two authors - all somehow connect to catastrophe. But is it a cat... Read more

Produced for Self Help Radio
Every year around the time of my birthday (which is in January) I play lots of music from a year I've been alive. I started in 1968 when the show began back in Austin. I've made it up to 1988. I played lots of my favorite songs from 1988 on the show back in January of this ... Read more

A radio show about magnets - in the hope it'll be attractive to you. Okay, sorry about that. Didn't mean to be repellant. We do have some magnetic guests - a person who says he can increase your personal magnetism; the author of the book Becoming A Dude Magnet; & a musicia... Read more

Airs at: Tue, 07/02/2024 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for Self Help Radio
What a lovely place Death Valley is. Certainly worthy of a radio show. Enjoy lots of songs & a few goofy interviews, as well as some poetry. Just be safe out there. It gets hot. A recording of the show is not currently available on this website, but you can listen to this ... Read more

Self Help Radio 6/25/24: Mangos

Airs at: Tue, 06/25/2024 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for Self Help Radio
It's a radio show about a favorite fruit the world over! Lots of mango songs + I talk to a fruit inspector, to a chef, & to a mango booster. A messy couple of hours but luckily not nearly as messy as eating a mango! While the KBOO page undergoes maintenance, you can listen to... Read more

Feeling gutsy? Here's a radio show about guts. You might hate its guts, but without spilling my guts, I can tell you it's full of songs about guts & interviews with folks about guts & more. Perhaps you don't have the guts to listen. Or you might have already had a gutful of... Read more

Self Help Radio 5/28/24: Drain

Airs at: Tue, 05/28/2024 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for Self Help Radio
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 h... Read more
