This half hour does one of the things radio should: brings us a mind and a voice we would not otherwise have encountered, and not in an interview format but in performance. In fact, I've often wondered why more things like this don't appear regularly on radio--people would listen with real fascination to this. The only problem is with packaging: in this case, the performance artist tells two stories. They are very different in tone. the second one is much the stronger. It would be wonderful were it longer, so it could carry the whole half hour by itself.
