This is a very entertaining piece about a "normal" couple who reminisce about a visit to a nudist colony. The piece is well-produced and the characters of Mel and Sharon are very nicely played; my only criticism is that the "Star Trek" music was a bit distracting and incongruous for my taste. The two-person dialogue has the feel of the best of the StoryCorps pieces...natural and uncontrived. I loved the sort of midwest character of Mel and Sharon...it really made the piece funny. It's not often I can laugh out loud while listening to a bit of comedy, but I did with this one after repeated listening. Well done!
