Review of Welcome to CampThis piece resonated with me, but then I'm fresh from an airport luggage search caused by my casual mention of a lack of fondness for a certain public official. Okay, I'm an idiot. I was surrouned by teens from the George H. Bush H. S. in Houston. But I digress. Very on-the-nose satire about our rapidly deteriorating civil, legal, and human rights. Good quick drop-in, but risky around hard news. |

Review of Welcome to Camp
Witty, sharp. It's a little hard to tell what's going on at first, although I think that's part of the allure. The voicing of the camper could be a bit stronger, or have more personality. 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.
