This I believe

Based on a 1950s radio program, This I believe is aired each week on NPR and I think CBC. Listeners send in essays sharing the core values and beliefs that “guide them in their daily lives.”

It’s fun and cute listen of what makes people tick. I admit it’s all light and fluffy. But you know me, I like light and fluffy.
