I hope you like it, I listened to it again today and it still brings me to tears. I can’t imagine what he and everyone else went through. It’s the not knowing that’s the hardest.

The story was originally covered by NHK so he may have. Hopefully your friend is ok and you can see each other sometime soon.

Has he heard the story of the wind telephone someone set up in his garden? It’s just a pay phone booth that isn’t connected to anything where people come to talk to people who went missing in the tsunami. This American Life featured it in a really good episode.
