A nice piece, full of good voices, redolent with interesting social history. The interviewer is too concerned with exact terminology--keeps asking 'did they call them river rats?' as if that matters--and steers too clear of the present day. but other than that, a relaxing and thoughtful piece, and well worth it for the closing bit where one of these river dwellers comments on his local npr station!
