The Kindness of Strangers

[Listen]

Brett Leveridge was standing on the subway. A guy came walking down the platform, stopping in front of each passenger and delivering a quiet verdict: "You're in. You're out. You, you can stay. You – gotta go." Most people ignored the guy. But Brett found himself, against his will, hoping the guy would give him the thumbs up. Stories of the kindness of strangers, and where it leads. Also, the unkindness of strangers and where that can lead. You can see a graphic recreation of Brett's story in our comic book, Radio: An Illustrated Guide.
