Review of B-Side: Fiction

B-Side is a monthly program run on the student station at UC Berkeley. It will instantly remind you of another show on public radio aimed at a younger audience and you can almost imagine two of the segments in this episode as subjects you've heard before: a profile of a couple of audio pranksters on the mean streets of San Francisco in the early 60's and a young woman's story about trying to discover the truth about her father's experience in Vietnam. The third segment is a terrific monlogue by Hans Anderson (available independently also on PRX). The show is polished and enjoyable and might be of interest to other college radio stations.
