Today I should call this segment "you gotta hear this. "
You know a public radio piece is totally awesome when a 15 year old boy comes into the house saying, "Mom, did you hear that story about the babies in Wisconsin on MPR?"
"Switched at Birth" may be one of the most compelling hours on the airwaves...TV or radio. Um, does anyone know whether, now that we've gone digital, we even call what we broadcast over airwaves?
Anyway, the report originally aired a couple of years back. I remember one of our photojournalists talking about it. My son probably caught a rebroadcast tied to one of those seemingly endless fundraising drives while riding in my husbands car. I'm not going to give a bit of the story away. You've just got to listen. Like I said, it's an hour long. So pull up your computer some time when you're curled up on the couch or doing something mindless, like rolling meatballs (I've got a great new recipe in the "Someone's in the Kitchen" section today).
"Switched at Birth" was produced by the folks at "This American Life" which is the best thing going on the radio these days. I am in love with that show. Just the way host Ira Glass says his name makes me want to settle in a glazey eyed for a good yarn.
