This well-written, well-acted radio play will keep you listening. The episodes are quick and captivating, and the sound mix could not be better. I could “see” every moment.

this one is different, in a good way. it’s a dramatization of events. you feel like you’re listening to a movie. definitely a crazy story, and the way it’s told makes it feel like you’re living in it. very well done.
