Self Help Radio is not a self-help radio show. It might be something worse.

Each week host Gary explores a different theme with music & with talk. Guests are silly. The music is eclectic. It's kind of a mess.

Shows are archived here & also at the Self Help Radio website. There's a blog. There's Twitter. There's Facebook.

Upcoming themes are on the website. Send ideas for those shows or themes to explore at gary at self help radio dot net or by text 971-319-4847.

Hey look wow! A radio show about brooms! Please never suggest that Self Help Radio is not in touch with the times. It is indeed a radio show about brooms & there are many songs about brooms & what's more I talk to lots of broom-related guests - the Broom Family here, Portl... Read more

Oh dear me no Self Help Radio doesn't think it's cool. Far from it! But maybe - you can be honest with the show - maybe it looks cooler in sunglasses? You think? Lots of music about sunglasses, interview with a fashion consultant & a Youtube influencer, plus our resident c... Read more

What a rotten radio show this is. In content, I mean. It might actually be rotten but all the time I was doing it, it felt all right. But I was in the middle of it. There are lots of songs about rotten things. I talked to a person who spoils folks rotten on Only Fans, a sel... Read more

Airs at: Tue, 08/13/2024 at 12:00am - 3:00am
Produced for Self Help Radio
It's true, I have been feeling the world is a bit chaotic these days. Certainly I am anticipating chaos no matter what the result of the election in November. It's not uncommon for a deejay to work out their anxieties on the air, therefore, a radio show about chaos. In add... Read more

It sure is lonely being a late-night disc jockey. It seems appropriate for me, therefore, to explore the theme of loneliness. There are lots of songs meditating on loneliness, plus our resident cinephile talks about films featuring loneliness, & I talk to three lonely liste... Read more

You would think an episode of Self Help Radio about catastrophe would be redundant, wouldn't you? This show has lots of tunes about catastrophe as well as interviews - with a reporter, a college professor, & two authors - all somehow connect to catastrophe. But is it a cat... Read more

Every year around the time of my birthday (which is in January) I play lots of music from a year I've been alive. I started in 1968 when the show began back in Austin. I've made it up to 1988. I played lots of my favorite songs from 1988 on the show back in January of this ... Read more

A radio show about magnets - in the hope it'll be attractive to you. Okay, sorry about that. Didn't mean to be repellant. We do have some magnetic guests - a person who says he can increase your personal magnetism; the author of the book Becoming A Dude Magnet; & a musicia... Read more
