WATCH CLIPS FROM SELECTED PROGRAM SHORTS
In this program, listeners will delight and be moved by the dulcet sounds of a ring tone, the poignant last recording of Harvey Milk and the musings of an elderly artist who gleefully admits, "I live for beautiful women." These films depict a variety of real people and fictional characters whose voices impact with humor, insight, experience and tragedy.
