QUEST
Who’s Your Daddy
Rita D was a love child with an elusive, larger than life father who, shortly after she was born, all but vanished from her life. So in an attempt to understand her roots, she goes on a quest to visit the commune he was living on at the time of her conception, and to ask him a few burning questions. And like any well respecting radio-producer, she packs her recorder and brings us with her.
Moon Graffiti
“That’s one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.” We know the quote, the perfect capstone for America’s triumphant quest to put a man on the moon.But Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong came within inches of tragedy when they landed Apollo 11. This story imagines what the moon landing might have sounded like if things had gone a differently . . .
Moon Graffiti was produced by Jonathan Mitchell and edited by Hillary Frank for a new storytelling project called “The Truth” (distributed by American Public Media.) Matt Evans stars as Neil Armstrong, Ed Herbstman as Buzz Aldrin, and John Ottavino as Richard Nixon.
A Kidney and a Bride
What do you do when an estranged cousin calls out of the blue and asks for a highly illegal favor to save his life? Hang up the phone?
Or catch the next airplane to China . . .
Daniel made his choice, and wrote about his quest in a book called, “Larry’s Kidney.”
