Review of Gerda and Olcott

Gerda and Olcott is the kind of love story that would have any Hollywood film executive drooling over his/her wheatgrass martini. The setting is San Francisco and the story involves a flea market, a stack of 40-year-old love letters, the intersection of two long-distance relationships, and some serious sleuthing takes this story in an unexpected direction. Thanks to Outfront, public radio gets first dibs on this dreamy, real-life story . This is perfect radio for Valentine's Day programming. Without the context of this romantic day the piece does lose some of its charm.
