Played this on-air as part of a radio drama showcase, next to the "Boston Strangler" from the CBS Suspense series from the 20's. So that was my comparison. H2O is bringing radio production from the '30s to the modern age, and while it didn't quite bring the intensity that makes certain dramatic radio great -- it sometimes was hard for me to visualize a compelling match to the audio, and I wasn't too stimulated for about 15 minutes in the middle of the piece -- it makes up for it with an interesting plot, very good talent, and well-placed sound effects and effects on the vocals. A couple listeners called in and expressed their interest, and overall I'm glad I played it.
