| True Taxi Stories Host Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev)
A diagnosis of cancer is never welcomed by anyone. But for veteran radio producer Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev), his diagnosis had a silver lining. He struck up an unexpected friendship with the cab driver who took him to his radiation treatments, a Chilean immigrant named Patrick Nilo (owner of CJ Cabs, Ellenville, New York) who came to the US in 1973. We go for a ride with them. |

This intimate audio vérité conveys a candid realism that will make
listeners will feel as if they are in the cab with Joe and Patrick as
they share very personal stories of their lives. It was recorded in
November and December 2014 by Joe during two months of one hour cab
rides from his home in Napanoch to Dyson Center for Cancer Care in
Poughkeepsie, New York and back again.
"As I told Patrick during one of our cab rides, I feel like getting cancer was my lucky charm. I met so many new people and had so many new experiences that have made me a better person. Patrick has called me "a winner" and has encouraged me to get my positive story out to the world," reveals Joe Bev.
Joe Bev completed his prostate cancer treatments on December 1, 2014,
with a clean bill of health after 48 radiation treatments. A 5 minute
and 20 second collage of his cab ride recordings was broadcast on
National Public Radio's Latino USA on March 13, 2015:

Also on the hour, Candid Microphone: Getting Change from a Cab Driver,
aired on CBS Radio August 31, 1947.
Candid Microphone was a 1940s radio show which soon became the long-running TV series "Candid Camera" (38 seasons and 1,000+
episodes).
The show involved scenarios in which unwitting members of the public
would be placed in a situation where unusual things began happening
(caused by actors hired by the producers as well as various props). The
victim of the prank's reactions would be recorded and at some stage the
joke is finally revealed to them.

Joe Bev began making up stories into a tape recorder when he was twelve
in 1971. 44 years and hundreds of hours of radio broadcasting later, and
he’s still creating unusual audio that defies categorization. Whether it
is creating a half-hour radio play, documentaries, features or personal
essays for National Public Radio, or performing on stage before a live
audience, he has made a career out of imaginative storytelling in the
best aural traditions of the past.
