With all the news and events happening in the world today so much of the reporting and stories are so saddening, maddening, awful, shocking, disappointing, etc, etc. It can get so overwhelming and heavy sometimes. I just adore watching Steve Hartman’s nice little human interest stories. They always seem to make my day a little brighter when I watch them. So if you are looking for something nice and/or inspiring to watch every now and then and have less than 5 minutes I think his stories are the best. It is a like a little shot of goodness when I need a pick me up. 😄 He does little stories called Kindness 101 - where, with his kids, he revisits some of his older on the road stories. Kindness 101And then his On the Road stories On the road with Steve Hartman |

Yes, we have watched CBS evening news for years.
Even when we didn't have a tv in the kitchen, it would be on in the other room whole we were eating supper and when Steve Hartman would come on we (me, DH, DD, and DS) would all get up from the table and go in and watch his stories.
We now have a tv in the kitchen so we don't miss his stories.
Way too many times, the whole family would be cursing those darned chopped onions.
Steve Hartman is one of the good guys.

I love him. When I was a full time teacher I used some of his stories to use as lessons for teaching theme. They worked so well for that.

Yes. They remind me of Charles Kuralt's stories.

I love them, too. I also love the series that preceded the current one. He used to do 'Everyone has a story' where he drove to a town, opened the phone book (obviously this was awhile back) to a random page, closed his eyes, and pointed to a name. He would look the person up and have them share whatever was unique or interesting. Everyone truly does have a story.

Too funny that most people don’t even have a phone book at home these days. 😆 |

You might find those two things in a museum but not in real life anymore. |

You might find those two things in a museum but not in real life anymore. He did go to a phone booth, or like a pay phone in a cafe or some public place. There would be absolutely no way to do that show anymore. I will admit to still having one in a drawer I think. Remember when they even use to give a street address with phone books. I do miss the yellow pages, seemed so much easier, quicker and semi safer than googling businesses in my area. 😉😄 |
