Review of God is Talking to Me


A Father's Day story with a twist that still ends up being a Father's Day story. Hans Anderson is the knuckle-baller in PRX: He amuses, he challenges, he fools, he cajoles from one story to the next. Here he captures one curiously common feature of Father's Day narratives -- the absent father -- and creates something immense, even while endorsing the happy-finding-of-Dad motif.

In this story particularly, Anderson reminds us that when we tell stories, we are all too often at sleep behind the wheel. Some will argue that this is fiction: Well, that never stopped you from presenting White House coverage.

PDs: You've got a week here: Drop Don Gonyea and 9 mins. plus at the White House for this. Your listeners will love you.
