A Very Self Help Radio Christmas 2020

Federal law & common courtesy allows all programmers one (1) Christmas/holiday show per year* & Self Help Radio takes advantage of this by airing three hours of Christmas music as close to Christmas as possible so as not to seem rude, impatient, or annoying.

In addition to many new songs & a few favorites (probably a couple of duds, too, but it's three hours!), there are interviews with a couple of millenials discussing how the kids celebrate Christmas, a visit from the show's spiritual advisor the Rev. Dr. Howard Gently, an interview with anti-Christmas advocate Neville Harrison, a segment of Chuck's Happily Unsophisticated Cinema Korner about Christmas movies, & a performance (recorded) by Sir Archibald Von Poesy.  It will be up to you to decide which is more irritating: holiday music or frustratingly long interviews.

Thank you for listening, have a safe & happy holiday, & visit the show's website at selfhelpradio.net for more ways to connect with the show.

* Yes, that means that programmers who do more than one are breaking the law.  You should report them!
