Okay, I'm offically on the bandwagon. Nick and Adrianne clearly know what they're doing with this series, as they did with their previous, "This One Time". It's quickly-paced storytelling, well mixed with what they aptly describe as "wonky" music.
It passes the critical, "Does this piece make me care?" question that us editors are taught to ask. I end up caring about the storytellers and their stories. I suppose if I didn't care, I wouldn't listen...
The end piece, with them shooting guns at a range goes on a bit too long...at 29 minutes, instead of 34, this show would be even better.
This will air on WNPR's Essential Radio on 1/15/05 (Right after Radio Lab, Show 103)
