SEEING THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT HOME & MUSEUM WITH JULIAN PADOWICZ, BFI AudioBooks, $24.95.
Retired documentary filmmaker Julian Padowicz began this project as an aid for the elderly and disabled who weren’t easily able to complete the Franklin D. Roosevelt Home and Museum tour at Hyde Park, New York. The venture grew into a six-hour, five-cassette audio book that not only offers the listener a detailed guided tour of the house and museum but also presents a biography of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt with accounts of such events as the Great Depression, the New Deal, and World War II.
