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.

Don't cry! It's just a radio show about onions. Onion songs, interviews with onion-related people, fun facts about onions - it has so many layers! (There might be lots of onion puns as well.) Note: the last hour here is an episode of Corporate Standardized Programming feat... Read more

Self Help Radio is taking a couple of weeks off. But I wouldn't want you to have to listen to old shows or syndicated programming, so I prepared three hours of music in the electronica, jazz, & experimental genres in the show's place. They are all released just this year... Read more

A note: It seems to me pretty obvious that the interviews on this show are totally made-up & ridiculous, but a caller to this show seemed a little upset that I had "fooled" him. Just to be clear, any interview you hear on this show with an "expert" on the theme is almost... Read more
