Stranger Danger


Let's talk....

Well, it's Saturday and time to relax with an old time radio story....
This story is a reminder that we don't always know who we're dealing with.

It struck home with me because in the late '70's I moved on the outer edge of some pretty dangerous characters here in Detroit. Some are dead now, some still in prison. Thank God I never got quite close enough to any of them to be involved in any of their schemes. Still, sometimes I wonder just what might have been on their minds....

The first 4 minutes of this piece are introduction, then the story starts. It's by a guy named Jack Hitt, and it's called "The Super" - it's about 20 or so minutes long. There are two stories in the broadcast, but it's the only the first one that I'm recommending. The voices might be kind of hard to take, but the story's worth it....

You can find the story here at This American Life. Just click on the link and look for the above picture on the page.
