This is one of the best pieces of radio "footage" i can recall listening to. thanks moth radio
Had to sit in the driveway tonight (while my frozen food started to melt) to hear Judy Gold finish her piece on NPR - the ultimate Jewish mother! Growing up Catholic, with lots of Jewish friends, I really enjoyed it. Laughed, even got a little teary and smiled as I unloaded the groceries. So goes the circle.
I must admit, at the beginning of the program when I heard that the Rev. Al Sharpton was going to, "tell a story"...
I thought, Oh, please, no...
I always felt (from a T.V. perspective) that Rev. Sharpton was an opportunist, and a charlatan riding on the coat-tails of other great men.
But, when it came time, I did listen to his story, and I did listen to the man, and, in the end, I walked away feeling this guy is O.K.
