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 Bluesky. 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.
