Review of Life Stories - Families: Sons & Brothers

Dr. Berkenwald's piece was very informative and touching. His parents words brought me to tears. Anyone who says the holocaust never happened should listen to this.

Review of Life Stories - Families: Sons & Brothers

I have had recent cause to listen to some of the work from the life stories collection, and this particular hour remains my favorite. So inspired, in spite of the professional connection, I offer this review:

Interior portraits with character shaping moments revealed with a rare intimacy.These stories certainly can stand on their own, but together, as an hour, they make compelling radio. Allison's delicate "behind the curtain" approach to humanness is exceptionally poignant in this hour. Perhaps because together they expose a male fragility we are still not used to witnessing in the mainstream.

Good for air really any time, but most especially fine for Father's day.
