Aftermath

I listened to this piece on PRX about two years ago and have never forgotten it since. Totally intriguing and shocking to hear about a job that I didn't even know existed.

And this piece was the first thing I thought of on my walk home tonight when I saw the big, red Aftermath, Inc. truck painted with "tragedy and crime scene cleanup" and "biohazard" parked across the street from my apartment.


Aftermath

Wow. As I said above, the originality is thrilling. -- I meant to give it 4 stars, but the machine didn't cooperate!!


Love & Radio: Aftermath

Great production, very upsetting story -- takes a strong stomach. Maybe it's useful to think about these things, but it's painful. Must say, it's AMAZINGLY ORIGINAL.
