It Was Controversial at the Time



I really do dislike This I Believe.

They manage to transform honest sentiments into cranky, cloying proclamations.

Anyways, I forgot about all that and tuned in this recent episode that replays Eleanor Roosevelt's original This I Believe statement. It's short and it's a treat to hear her accent and phrasing.

Her audio is book-ended by a good introduction and analysis by Bob Edwards and a historian.

Listen on itunes or on the This I Believe website.
