I love the way radio allows you to be a privileged voyeur to a story that sparks emotions in the listener. And in this way I think this piece did a fine job. The stories and their pacing were generally good though sometimes I wanted to hurry the speakers just a teensy bit to a conclusion.
The narrator sounded a bit stilted and emotionless in the intro but she really came to life when responding to the interviewees and when telling her own story which had a crust of humour with a heart of pathos.
The only thing - and its a small matter - I didn't like in this piece was the music - both its choice and the decision to use it pretty much non stop through the piece. It worked well in the beginning and the end, but became musical wallpaper throughout the stories and as irriating as shopping mall muzak.
On the whole though an entertaining piece that will make many listeners think about the love dramas in their own lives.
