POV has done this before, and at the time, I strongly urged they do it again – so I’m glad to see this latest StoryCorps special. StoryCorps, of course, is an exisiting, long-running feature on public radio, an intimate oral history experiment that is one of the very best ideas in its history. For television, these existing audio recordings are augmented with basic, simple animation – much like Ricky Gervais turned his podcast conversations into HBO’s The Ricky Gervais Show – and presented, this time, as a Thanksgiving Day treat. Few things you’ll watch on TV today will tend to bring the family closer. For a full review, see Eric Gould's Cold Light Reader. Check local listings.
