Review of Dear DavidCould definitely hear something like this on TAL - really liked the arc of the story and both the narrator and female character were nicely voiced. My only critique is that I might've liked to have heard more - perhaps a little more from the narrator's side and a little more music used to illustrate each step of the story. Very much enjoyed it, and would love to hear a show punctuated with a few of these. |

Review of Dear David
This is an excellent ?found radio? piece where a commentary develops out of something completely ridiculous and out of the ordinary. The pacing is so upbeat and the musical undertones effectively foreshadow what is to happen in an upcoming email, as well as the tone of the readers voices as they read adds another dimension to the piece and makes it almost visual. The writing is interesting in how it jumps around from different parts of the story without getting the listener confused. It would be nice to hear a little more of the narrator?s side of the story and background, but the ending thoughts are so comforting that the piece leaves a lasting impression.
