Review of Little Gray Book Lecture: How to Communicate Without the Use

I disagree with the reviewer above who dislikes the embroidery around the two main stories. The whole package rocks. Well...gently. I listened to this on a Friday evening after a long and arduous week of Much Noise. This show is da balm.
Repurposed Art Bell. A Haunted motel. Contacting aliens. Fun with walkie talkies. All a bit whack, as so little of radio - anywhere - is, genuinely, these days.
I'm glad to see these folks are podcasting and dividing the shows into 'minividual' segments which I assume are available for pds.
This is the sort of thing meant for restless nights or long drives. Nice use of white space. Excellent tone.
Special kudos to J. Coulton: personally I can't stand singer/guitarist/humorists (it a long story, same with mimes and sockpuppeteers) but he won me over with his song about the E-poppin', Red Bull quaffin', rave attendin', news anchor.
The theme of The Romance of Over the Air Radio works well coming through the wires too.
