I loved this piece. Aaron Henkin has pulled me into a different world. (After listening to the cabbie's woes, I'm glad i'm just a visiter). Aaron moved beautifully between interview and his own written narrative...Through the subtle use of a jazz piece and the tone of his narrative, Henkin gave the piece atmosphere (I felt as though I was riding around with the cabbie on a raining evening).
I will never again take a cab driver for granted (Though I'm a very generous tipper).
This is the kind of piece I'd like to hear more of on NPR's flagship shows...a worthwhile detour into the lives of everyday people.
