This show is great. Its so much more powerful than anything on TV, and the show is perfect for radio. I don't know why its so awesome, but I absolutely love it. I might be biased because I was pretty much raised with NPR as the primary media in my life. Anyway, I just started listening through the archives online This show might be only recognizeable to people in the US, but it is definitely worth checking out, as it really has nothing to do with America in particular, I think. |

Ah ha! I knew if I had posted this exact same thread it'd get the same response, so I didn't bother. But I'm glad you did because this is a decent radio show. (I think they're making it in to a cable TV show, maybe on Showtime.) Yeah, I've been enjoying this radio program for a few years now. It really is great, just stories, and nothing juvenile, but for all audiences. There was a recent (a few months ago maybe) story on there about a black man (back in the day) who worked on a ship that wrecked and washed ashore in Norway I think. Well, they pulled him out of the ocean and took care of him, first trying to wash off the "oil" from his skin. They of course never have had seen a black man before and thinking this particular man was covered oil tried to wash off his black skin. And this poor guy thought he was still in America or thought that all white people had in for blacks, kept worrying that he would be lynched. But of course he wasn't. He was nursed back to health, soon returning to America where he joined the armed forces in some capacity. He went through all kinds of racism, but instead reacting with violence he remembered those people who had helped him and did nothing. He eventually became a success and paid tribute to the people who had helped him by openning a musuem there. Or something. Very touching. But I have to say, it took awhile for me to get used to Ira's voice. As far as being raised on NPR, me too. Not that my parents had anything to do with it. I just caught on to it at a very earily age. It usually being close to the Classical music station on the FM dial also helped. |
