Whether it was intentional or not, the main character reminds me of several anal/nerdy types that I know, but this guy is especially clueless. So I suppose it's a good acting/voicing performance. The build is smooth, if a little slow. The mood and writing of the Sixty Second Radio Hour segments work well with the format of my show/station, but I don't know where else I would expect to hear them.

This was such fun to listen to—completely entertaining. The progression of answering machine messages is such a satisfying structural device. I was a little disappointed that the end point was farcical, because some of the emotional places the story goes to feel genuine. Anyway, I can imagine the format of the sequential answering message becoming a whole genre unto itself. There’s so much to be done with it. It’s sort of the closest you can get to the panel-by-panel sequence of a comic book on radio. Valentine’s Day is coming up and a story like this would offer such a nice counterpoint to all the romantic stuff that’ll be going on.
