A man in a basement who does his thinking on his own is apt to have some interesting things to say. This one does.
"The Basement" is a snippet of a very unusual conversation and I would love to hear the rest of it. If this is a series I would definitely tune in to follow along. Anyone who can "separate the truth from the tire ads" and talk about "insufficient self esteem" probably has a lot of good stories to tell.
I'm listening.
Radio theatre that does not spoonfeed you. I did have a laugh out loud moment when he says that sometimes "the ghosts come out to see you". I can sum it up by saying that all 'Sixty Second Radio Hour' pieces are exceptionally well produced and edited. This is one of them.
I think this is the best of the current batch of Sixty Second Radio Hour segments up here on the PRX. True radio theatre. The mood and writing of this series works well with the format of my show/station, but I don't know where else I would expect to hear it.
More wry smile humor than laugh aloud. Strong voice, good monologue. Listening plunked me down in a small theater, spotlight on a man, for a comfortably paced, four-and-a-minute reflection on hauntings in life. This would be a welcome respite from haunting news of the day come early evening.
