Goat on a Cow
Producer and gumshoe Laura Starecheski brings us along on a hunt that traverses the country, and time. The mystery to unravel? A box of old letters found on the side of the road by Erick Gordon.
Git your teeth ready for a nail-bitin' chase through clues and suspects--a Manhattan middle school teacher, homesick WWII soldiers, Rte 101, an estranged wife and mother from the past, Bob and Carol, unfriendly landowners--that all revolve around, yes, a goat standing on a cow.

I had listened to this program only one time when they had a special on the NPR station in South Florida. I never got to hear radio lab again, but I enjoyed the program so much that I have looked it up on the internet. I shared the story about Ella Chase with some of my Norwegian friends. I am huge fun of the way the show is produced and its entertaining subject matter. Thank you.
This was an amazing story. How the teacher didn't look any farther into this womans life becasue he was satisfied with how he was using the found letters in such a creative way.... amazing. For him the story never ends because his students can forever keep creating new stories for him. It nearly brought tears to my eyes.
I sat in my car for 20 minutes outside of my house to finish listening to this story. It was amazing and I wasn't about to miss a bit of it. I am passing this along to many of my friends. It's one of those stories that you experience not just listen to.
