You've probably heard of Storycorps, if you haven't already huddled into one of their community vans to interview your great aunt or the owner of the neighborhood drug store that's been there for 57 years. It's the NPR program solely dedicated to the act of listening to the extra-ordinary stories of ordinary people.
Now they have a cd collection out so you, too, can share in the delight of listening to the folks on your street. I love this title, but couldn't get away with something so earnest on my website, so here it is:
"Listening is An Act of Love"

Consider giving the gift of listening this holiday season--and you don't even have to buy the box set to do it!
earfully yours,
