Review of StoryCorps: Philip and Judi Frabosilo
THIS IS WHY STORY CORPS IS THE BEST THING PUBLIC RADIO HAS DONE IN AGES!
I am crying tears of joy as I write this. I have never been more touched in two and a half minutes. EVERY STATION MUST AIR THIS PIECE ON VALENTINES DAY!
Do you see the caps people? That's how good this piece is. I want to shout it from the mountain tops!
This is an amazing piece because its honest, a key core value of pubic radio. It doesn't matter that these folks have a New York accent thicker than Jello because it's just as sweet.
Universal stories are what this project is all about and this couple's story about the circumstances of their love and marriage will touch every one in your audience. Please, Please, Please share it with America!
