Love & Radio: AftermathGreat 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: AftermathBrilliantly 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. |
