Self Help Radio 082322: Turquoise


Turquoise is a mineral which is used as a gem which gives its name to a color.  All three of these aspects of turquoise inform this radio program about turquoise.  There are quite a few songs here about turquoise & turquoise things.

In addition to those songs, the show also features interviews: with a turquoise vendor; with a mystical fellow who discusses the power of torquoise; with a General whose "Turquoise Squad" is unique in the army; with an electronic musician who writes songs about music from a unique point of view; & with a salesperson who claims to have invented a machine that makes turquoise.  As is typical for Self Help Radio, none of these interviews are with the people they claim to be, but with funny folk pretending to be those people.  But since it's all about turquoise, we hope you'll understand.

My secret plan to get people to bring me turquoise in the middle of the night did not happen.  This bodes ill for other radio shows about precious gems.
