This week we've got stories about people starting up new jobs. We'll hear about first jobs, jobs that are a great fit, and jobs that didn't work out at all. (2:14) Ohio Storyteller Kim Weitkamp shares a story called "The Boney Fish" about getting her first job so that she can also bring home a coveted item from the store. But what starts as a tale of a young girl with a paper route quickly turns into a wild fish story that you're not going to want to miss. This performance was recorded live in the Apple Seed Studio. (29:30) Host Sam Payne shares a memory of an unusual job he had in high school that many years later helped him establish a connection with his step-dad. It’s today’s entry in the Radio Family Journal. (35:34) The OTR (old-time radio) show 'The Life of Riley' was a smash hit, running on the radio for 7 years and spinning off a feature film and two different TV shows. We'll bring you highlights from an episode where Riley gets a job collecting rent from his neighbors, and it ends up turning his neighborhood upside down. We hope these stories spark memories that you can share with the people you love.
