KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio

Published April 25, 2012 at 12:16 PM MDT

Friday, Doug is joined by storyteller and humorist Kevin Kling. Kling is perhaps best known for his commentaries on NPR. His stories are autobiographical - funny, but deeply personal. Kling shares everything from holidays in Minnesota and performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia to living with a birth defect and surviving a near fatal motor cycle accident. He joins Doug to talk about the power of story to overcome tragedy. (Rebroadcast)

We will air our conversation with religion scholar Elaine Pagels on Friday, April 27.
