  • An Economic Listen

    A well crafted series of (FREE) short, self-contained radio plays wed together by broader, deeper themes. The source material is elevated writing that remains accessible to the listening ear, especially when punched up by this colorful ensemble of recognizable voices (whatever your age, you're bound to know some of them). Bravo to all involved for reviving a forgotten medium... and for encouraging the listener to think outside the box. THUMBS UP!
