Review of PersonalsI love this piece starting with the first note of the organ from the Doors song “Light My Fire.” The narrator (Casey Brackett) starts off by saying a whim to look through the personals ads in her local newspaper leads to the creation of the piece. Brackett is very sarcastic throughout the piece about the different people who have personal ads, which leads to a whimsical and funny piece. She calls up some of the personal ad authors and records their voice mail. A computer voice reads out the facts, including age and astrological sign; this computer’s voice is very sensual. I wonder if the computer has a personal ad, too? Some people on the personal ads page you want to know, and some should just be avoided like the plague. All in all, it is the oldest story in the world, of people lookin’ for love. |

Review of PersonalsIf nothing else, this piece is worth a listen because of the Episcopalian and Sunny Delight. (That would be a story right there . . . what if the Episcopalian and Sunny Delight were to hook up?) The voice mail personals were interesting to listen to, but the piece needs more narration from Casey to bring it all together. Catchy intro music. |

Review of Personals
This piece is very amusing because it makes most people seem that they are desperate for love and the tend to look in the worg place all the time. But hey its their way of finding different mates that are compatible with them. Hopefully them don't find some who is a perveted freak online or thourght the phone
