"Golden" may feel like a color but it's an adjective describing something that resembles a color - & much more! It actually began life meaning "made of gold" - but there's so much more to the word these days. You can live your golden years peacefully or you can take a golden opportunity. The sunset may make the sky golden or your friend can misquote that line from The Outsiders & say, "Stay golden, Ponyboy." The word lends itself to a golden age of its uses! Such a word also finds its way into the lyrics of songs, which is where Self Help Radio comes in.
In addition to three hours' worth of golden songs, we also speak to none other than King Midas (!) - he of the golden touch - as well as a plastic surgeon who specializes in golden impants. Our librarian friend Carole stops by to talk about Little Golden Books, & our resident cinephile stops by to talk about films with "golden" in the title. Also, there's some poetry but it goes by fast.
Yes, they say "silence is golden," but you don't want silence on the radio! So instead here's Self Help Radio's very loud golden show.
