You can cut the pathos with a knife as Steve Post recounts his two-year long childhood banishment by one of his wicked stepmothers to a boarding school of Dickensian quality “in the wilds of New Jersey when New Jersey still had wilds.” Music selections do not include “Teach Me Tonight,” because we have done that to death already. This program was first broadcast on March 6, 2004.
