Immediately compelling and elegantly emotive. The premise of this new kind of intimate communication (web cam/im, email) between war-time soldiers and their families is engaging, especially for those unfamiliar with the situation and perhaps more so for families in the same straits.
The support structure in this story is inspiring - a crying baby left in the ambience for longer than expected is incredibly effective as is the wife's honesty about her "misplaced" returning husband. For a first time producer, this is really good radio.
This kind of "reminder" is excellent fare for veteran's day, memorial day - any kind of programming about what it took and what it takes to be at war. The sacrifices make you quiet.
