Review of God is Talking to Me

This innovative piece has both mystery and humor. We know it’s fiction – yet is it? The producer uses quirky, unusual editing to almost superimpose his comments – removing the “breathing” - keeping this bit of radio art moving quickly, pulling us in and creating dramatic tension. An oddly driving and amusing music bed is both commentary and mood.
The fellow in this piece goes on an interesting, circuitous adventure as God talks to him and helps him to his goal.
I love hearing this kind of innovative radio interspersed with traditional documentary work and newsmagazine solidity to keep my ear jumping and me aware of where radio can go.
