Review of Hard to Say

What a truly lovely story. It just re-iterates yet again that great radio is only about great "talent" and in this respect the wonderful Ed Werler was everything you could ask for for the subject of a radio portrait.
I would have loved to hear his story stretched over a half hour block - with actuality in the background, it could have held.
His gentle, humourous tone transformed a sad story into a poignant one and this is certainly a piece that will touch a chord in most people. Its a story about life and love and nearing the end and how the essentials in life can stay with you right till the end. And I'm truly grateful to hear that there's still a chance of a heart fluttering new romance in one's 70's.
Well done for putting out a personal story so gently without any uneccessary razzamattaz.
