Review of Walking With My Father


Simple, but not simplistic, this elegant setting for Charlie Rizzo's memories of his father is a remarkably patient and elegant narrative. Uncluttered, impeccably edited and produced, it has that intimacy only radio can achieve. Certainly programmable in the context of fathers and sons, but appropriate for discussions of loss and storytelling and the elusive qualities of manhood. Because of its tone it deserves to be used in day-parts where people can take the time to pay attention.
