The storytelling topic on page 186 of Lidwell struck a cord with me this week. In the last few months I have been addicted to the "digitally storytelling" of This American Life, a Chicago Public radio podcast. The themed stories each week "are like movies for radio. There are people in dramatic situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional moments and moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all."

Social Engineering was the the most recent This American Life podcast I listened to. The episode unfolds with Daniel Canada and Gregory Deloatch (above), two homeless poets in NYC.

Thanks for the link to this podcast, you where right! What a cool podcast to subscribe to!
Daniel Canada was already a bum before he became homeless. He has two children he’s never taken care off. What a dead beat dad. He made himself homeless as he states to avoid family life, and what happened to his kids? Since the used welfare t0 support himself, did he at least share his foodstamps with his kids? Better to be homeless than a BUM. SHAME ON HIM SHAME SHAME SHAME
