tender and interesting. i liked this piece. it's an unusual mix of documentary and radio drama, but it works well. at times it seems a little too slow and too delicate but overall very engaging. nice to listen to while hanging out at home on a sunday afternoon.
These stories are visual and Barbara Bernstein does a fine job of holding one's attention.
The first module "Stevie and Me," is appropriate for any programming involving homosexuality.
The second module is about synergy and serendipity: the unlikely and recurring reunion of two people who continue to surface in each other's lives. ( a public radio fundraiser is one venue that reunites these two---this could make a good spot for public radio fundraising)
The third segment is a piece on Bernstein's school reunion. It has some good tape and to hear the trajectories of people's lives is always interesting. This would be good for a show about school reunions, or about the passing of time how people change---or don't.
With this hour of radio the sum of the parts is greater than the whole; broadcast these pieces individually.
