Self Help Radio 121024: Hobos


Perhaps you don't see as many hobos as one used to but for some reason there were a lot of them on KBOO on Tuesday morning.
Yes, Self Help Radio had a show about hobos with probably too many hobo songs, plus guests - a sociologist looking for the king of the hobos, a local business owner with an antipathy toward hobos, & our resident cinephile, who talked about films that may or may not feature hobos. You might rather be running from railroad bulls or getting sick from mulligan stew - but I'm hoping that's not the case. Jump right on!
The last hour of the show is an episode of Corporate Standardized Programming in which I play music by artists who died in September of this year.
