A few years ago, BBC Radio did a three-part series called Groucho Was My Father. It was a look at you-know-who as seen through the eyes of his daughter, Miriam and through the words that Groucho wrote to her in his letters. The letters were read on the program by our pal Frank Ferrante…and it all really came together as a nice portrait of a great comedian and his rocky (at times) relationship with his family.
It's being rerun now and for the next five days, you can hear Part One by going to this link. Part Two airs this Saturday and Part Three the Saturday after. I'll try to put up links to listen to them online after the initial rebroadcasts. Someone remind me if I forget.
