Episode 8 - "On the Reef of Norman's Woe"
Manage episode 426320612 series 3576835
Episode 8 begins with host Joe McHugh explaining how fate plays a role in deciding which stories are featured in each episode of The Telling Takes Us Home and ends with a lively recitation by an Irish poet of the classic poem The Wreck of the Hesperus by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In between are stories about learning a life lesson from a brother thanks to a boxing match, a mother's ESP, a father saved by an enemy soldier, a most unusual "tea party," going after the girl you love, and a very close call while working for the railroad. So have a listen and wonder awhile at the human condition in all its varied forms.
