Product Description
Humorous, touching stories from the National Public Radio archives that capture the essence of fatherhood.
First, what's a "driveway moment"? It's when you're so captivated by a feature story you're hearing on NPR that you stay in your car to hear it to the end—even if you're sitting in your driveway with the motor running, groceries to unpack, and kids to feed. For years, listeners have written to NPR to describe such moments.
The stories in this collection kept dads glued to their bucket seats. Now dad can listen again, at his own pace, to tales for and about fathers. Drawn from All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and other award-winning NPR programs, they include a humorous account of a father's habitual snoring, a dad's reflection on leading his son's boy scout troop, an insightful look at the challenges of being a teenage father, and a touching reminiscence about lessons that NPR host Scott Simon learned from his comedian father. Hosted by Simon, these stories are comforting, bittersweet, and everything in between.
From the Back Cover
You're in your car, listening to a story on your local NPR station. Suddenly, you find yourself at your destination—home, work, or parking lot of the grocery store. The story has captured you, and rather than turn the radio off, you stay in your car and listen to the end. You've had a Driveway Moment!
Memories of fathers often include bountiful advice, long talks, and perhaps a few unpleasant moments. We've mined the NPR archives for 21 stories that capture the essence of fatherhood. Some are comforting, others are bittersweet, and many more fall somewhere in between. This compilation is sure to keep you in your car listening to the end—a Driveway Moment.
