one of the most moving stories i have ever listened to in my life

[Andrew Ballstaedt]

One monday in January of 2005 i was painting at byu in my art studio.
i listened to this 1986 interview of an ex-convict. i think i cried
listening to it and it made such an impact on me that i have never
forgotten the interview and last week i bought a copy of the original
broadcast. i don't know how to explain it but this interview made me
want to be a better person - i can think i can honestly say it changed
my life.
