This is an entertaining piece suggesting that our nation's countless coffee shops may be holier places than many of us ever imagined. At least I think that's the idea. It's not perfectly clear.
The abrupt opening took me by surprise, and the speedy narrator (he sounds rushed from the start) was a little difficult to follow, but the mix of sound and story was wonderfully balanced...not so unlike a well-made cappuccino.
With just a bit more attention to writing and delivery, this could be a tasty radio casual.
