Review of Epitaph

Chrysti has a wonderful series! This is truly a useful radio series for listeners. I enjoyed the etymology of the word "epitaph" as well as the various epitaphs found on gravestones. Concise and engaging, Chrysti has a quirky little series that is actually useful to the listener.

Review of Epitaph

I like this series. I'm a lover of words, as I believe the majority of public radio listeners are. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, the producer Chrysti Smith has developed a piece that catches the ear very well - it's smooth, entertaining, and informative. I especially liked the epitaph, "I told you I was sick." This piece would work well around Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" or anyplace in the programming schedule where two minutes of intelligence are needed. Good job.
