Who is this Magda? Why does she get a birthday show? She's the love of Self Help Radio host Gary's life, & every year Self Help Radio has existed, he has devoted a show to her on her birthday full of birthday songs. He doesn't repeat recordings - he may play covers of songs though - which makes each show more of a challenge. It's not entirely clear if this is something Magda actually wants. But the birthday shows continue!
In addition to hours of birthday songs, there are interviews with a columnist who talks about his favorite birthday party & a writer who has written a book about celebrating your birthday every day. As well, librarian Carole stops by to talk about birthday books, & there's a disastrous in-studio performance of the Beatles' "Birthday" by Captain McCheese accompanied by Ned Dry. So - happy birthday Magda?
If you yourself have had a birthday this year - or if you will have a birthday this year - or if today's your birthday - this show is also for you! Happy Birthday!
