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.

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.

Review of Love & Radio: Aftermath
Brilliantly produced and upsetting as all get-out, Love & Radio's "Aftermath" is one of the eeriest pieces I've heard in ages. It's also mightily effective, painting a portrait of a job that's practically unheard of -- cleaning up after accidents, murders, suicides, and individuals who just can't seem to throw anything away. Tim Reifsteck's stories are harrowing, but what gets you is his voice -- calm, level-headed, almost dispassionate. He clearly cares about his work, but if it affects him on another level, you'd never know it.
Production is spotless, with interview questions and prompts left in -- an interesting way to "let the seams show." Music choices are apt throughout, and pauses are well-placed.
I'll be thinking of this one for quite some time.
