DESCRIPTION:
You've had a Driveway Moment! Memories of fathers often include bountiful advice, long talks, and perhaps a few unpleasant moments. This compilation is sure to keep you in your car listening to the end—a Driveway Moment.. Suddenly, you find yourself at your destination—home, work, or parking lot of the grocery store. The story has captured you, and rather than turn the radio off, you stay in your car and listen to the end. From the Back Cover You're in your car, listening to a story on your local NPR station. We've mined the NPR archives for 21 stories that capture the essence of fatherhood. Some are comforting, others are bittersweet, and many more fall somewhere in between
Funny, comforting, and nostalgic—kind of like Dad—DRIVEWAY MOMENTS FOR DADS is over 100 minutes of NPR at its finest. You’ll want it for your father and yourself, and for those you know who frequently finds themselves in their driveways, tuned to NPR, listening to the end of a story.
They loved it! Gift for relatives to use on their annual snow bird road trip.. L J S said Driveway Moments a hit !. Bought for my Brother who travels a lot in his car for work. He likes all of those stories.. "Really good, but not spectacular." according to B. Jones. I bought this as a Father's Day present for my husband (for his first Father's Day as a father).

Although some of the stories are very charming-- and a couple are touching, well-told tear-jerkers-- there are also a few stories and anecdotes that are mediocre at best. I think this collection is definitely worth listening to, especially for the few really beautiful stories, but if I had it to do over again I would have maybe given this to my husband as a just-because-present instea
