"Julie the Amtrak God" puts together flesh and steel and comes out with a haunting gem of a radio story. We are sucked into the dialog between a robot who's just doing her job and a girl who barely swallows her pain. At just three minutes, the piece is as lean and well-packaged as a pop song. But Arsarnow delivers a bittersweet, intimate performance that stirs in you long after the piece finishes. Her concept is genius in its simplicity and nearly flawless in its execution.
