Letters From Space

This hour of stories, music, and conversation begins with a Radio Family Journal entry about playing wedding gigs, and, in particular, wondering what good counsel this version of Sam might give to the Sam from years gone by, or the years to come, if they could all sit down and talk. We’ll follow that up with a conversation with astronaut Jerry Linenger, who spent more than 130 days about the Russian Space Station Mir. His story is not only about his own adventures, but also his desire to talk about those adventures with his son. We’re excited to bring you that conversation. And we’ll going to visit Creve Coeur, Missouri, just outside of St. Louis, to chat with a terrific duo of young storytellers called The Bible Players. They’re bringing Torah stories to life on stage in a way that makes them feel like part of a conversation that’s been going on for thousands of years.  You’ll also enjoy songs by the UK songwriter Wrenne.
