Terrific

This is one of the best "made for radio" pieces I've ever heard. It deserves a very wide audience.

Awesome Story

I have to say i have came across alot of interesting stories here on PRX but this is my favorite by far. It was truly inspiring & there's something to be said about humanity & you have documented that very well in this piece! I look forward to hearing more about this piece if there is any or hopefully if you have some more stories you're working on. Probably save this to my favorites & listen to it again later.
PEACE!

Came Back Three Times

It's true, we don't listen to many hour-long stories any more. I hear a lot of 10 minute features and a 25 minute podcasts...but an hour? That's tough.

I came back to this story 3 times over the weekend. I didn't forget about it. I listened all the way to the end and loved it.

Thank you for making something so spacious and long and full of wisdom.
