The Craftsman

Cheyenne returns to the podcast to help me in discussing and breaking apart this unforgettable episode!

“Albert becomes an apprentice for a craftsman who is Jewish. His classmates accuse him of being a Jew-lover and Laura is embarrassed because they accuse her when she tells them to quit picking on Albert. Albert learns to take pride in his work and when Mr. Isaac Singerman dies at the end of the summer, Albert follows his way of planting an acorn to grow a tree to repay the earth for the one he used in his carpentry.”

The Craftsman originally aired on January 8, 1979
