Self Help Radio 011122: Logs


Yes, a radio show about logs.  Not something you were expecting, was it?  Outside of a few lumberjacks - maybe some loggers - & a few of those folks who drive those giant trucks that deliver the logs - who wants to hear a radio show about logs?

We can't answer that, but we can tell you why there's a Self Help Radio about logs.  Host Gary, sitting somewhere & trapped in his thoughts, tried to think of a theme - a non-specific one - which he couldn't possibly find enough songs about to fill three hours of programming.  Perhaps he was staring at a tree, or perhaps he remembered those log trucks, but he thought "logs."  As you can see on the playlist below, there were plenty of songs about logs.  He is happy to be proven wrong yet again.

In addition to log songs, there are interviews: with a logger, with a log driver, with an artisan who uses logs for art, & with a neighbor who seems to have an inordinate amount of logs.  So there is log content beyond the log songs!

If you know a logger, tell them there's a show for them.  One suspects they feel a bit unappreciated.
