Clever but not contrived, sweet but not sappy.

A nicely crafted story that is all about everything its producers say it is: family, commitment, obsession, and even a glimpse of what makes these two genuinely likeable people tick. And for me, that glimpse is how it passes the "so what?" test. The metaphor of putting together puzzles and putting together lives is an apt one, and the producer was ever so wise in keeping it subtle. And the touches of music were masterful.

This piece is a good argument in favor of stations setting aside some regular program schedule time for documentaries and features meant for close listening by folks gathered around a radio.
