Review of It is To Laugh - Starship Majora: The Shape ShifterThis attempt at radio theater is okay at best. I find that the humor misses on many levels. It is also theater in another way: to follow along, listeners need to listen from start to finish - which is not how most people listen to the radio. One important note: this contains swearing and potentially offensive language, but the information for stations does not say this. It will need editing to be broadcast friendly in the USA. The humor in this piece is definitely for a niche audience - so if you air it, choose carefully where you place it. |

Arvid, I think you need a hobby that has nothing to do with Radio. Online or comments. Yes, it was bad humor, but that's what makes America free. Hrumph. Yes, it has offensive language.... so does our news casts. Editing for USA Broadcast? Shove it. "Freedom of Speech" means freedom to hear too.
All in all, the piece sucked. I still found it funny, and still support Dan and Michael and hope to hear more! .... moreover, I pray it's better done ... lol
