Hell, I love Story Corp's entire web site.
They're glimpses of lives, very personal that air each Friday.
Every time I hear Story Corp while I'm driving to work, I find myself crying. Every once in awhile, human beings can be so giving, so wise.
Yes, humanity can be awful. Just read the news about terrorists attacks, ISIS, Congressional gridlock, corporate greed and any number of sins that are in the daily news.
But humanity can be poignant and beautiful, too. Especially when it's not cluttered with people with a shallow agenda.
One great example came my way today via JoeMyGod, a blog focusing on gay political and social issues.
It turns out Story Corps makes great videos of their stories too. For animated visual versions of Story Corp, it's totally worth it to check out their YouTube channel.
And this one is awesome. It focuses on a rural dairy farmer dad, circa 1950s in rural Washington State.
This particular dairy farmer dad was incredibly wise, and way before his time. I just wish there were more people like him on Earth now. That's all I'm going to day about it. You just have to watch.
And you might get teary eyed, like I often do during Story Corps episodes.
