The story is pretty silly, just the sort of thing they play at the end of the hour on Morning Edition while you're waiting for the local weather. What made it impossible to stop listening to was the skilled sound mixing -- complex without letting you lose the thread of the story. The male voice also had a nice Clint Eastwood sound that gave some heft to the piece. Nice piece of whimsy.
