I don't know how many of you have heard of this truly wonderful radio program. Locally it airs on WNYC on Sat. afternoons ( a delightful change from their previous Sat. programming that made me reach for the OFF switch as quickly as I could. I know I was in the minority.) To give you the name---The Moth Radio Hour and in that lies a tale that they will happily explain many times. You hear wonderful stories wonderfully told by the people who lived them. I can guarantee that you will be mesmerized by the tales that are funny, sad, moving, and interesting. I know that I have laughed heartily and also had tears in my eyes at some of these stories and, one in particular, always amazed me at how the teller of the tale could finish it among his own upsetting moments in this truly sad and moving tale.
Here are a few samples and if you like this head over to WNYC (or some Public Radio Station your area)
If you get to the story of the suicide hot line do think of something I love playing on our air---David Buskin's Suicide Hot Line
As long as we are on radio recommendations I cannot urge you more strongly to not miss the program that follows my SUNDAY SIMCHA--THE VINTAGE ROCK & POP SHOP. The host and the material is not to be missed. It is what radio is all about---or what it used to be all about.
