Review of "The Joe Bev Holiday Treat"

Magazine-style format that works well for commercial radio with an interesting mix of short shows and "familiar" characters blended together by the host. Good examples of strong dialog to create visuals by the listener.

The Sherlock Holmes piece is very entertaining with good acting, tight sound effects and writing...not your typical Sherlock Holmes story!

From a broadcaster's perspective, the show immediately engages the listener by jumping right into the story--no long drawn-out intros. The outro/intro between segments is equally short. I heard no objectionable language. There was a light reference to track marks, in the true Holmes story style. This would play well to a broad audience of all ages.
