Oh the horror, the horror, the horror of holiday meals. Only a snark can save us. Thank goodness -- twas a perfect find for out after-Xmas show. Thanks!
i think this is a fantastic little piece. i consider myself a pretty tough audience when it comes to public radio humor, but this story had me laughing at my desk. the rhythm of the piece really makes it work, and the writing is clever without being TOO clever or snarky. the producer allows the story's natural humor come through without overburdening it with jokes and asides. nice work, i say.

Review of Christmas with Grandma
You achieved in two minutes what the film "The Ref" attempted to convey in almost two hours. And with sound only. Nicely done.
