While it's quite normal for a theme-based radio show to focus on subjects that are nouns, which is to say, persons, places, or things, Self Help Radio often decides to focus on the often-ignored adjective. In this spirit, we present to you a handsome show.
Why not just say the theme is "handsomeness"? To be honest, we hadn't thought about that. But we wanted to begin the new year handsomely, so a handsome show seemed just the ticket. That it is about handsome things perhaps sets a tone for a year that could be decidedly ugly.
In addition to songs about handsome things, we talk to the most handsome man in Portland, to a handsome Hollywood actor, & to the editor & founder of Handsome Man Magazine. Rumors of a visit by exceedingly handsome fellow Idris Elba turn out to be false. In any event, we hope you enjoy.
About the image above: that's Gary's dog Winston, who is an astonishly handsome hound.
