This is a really creative idea - and different. The best programs that I've been able to hear that are being broadcast in the US right now all seem to be based around intensive, confessional "true" storytelling - some of these programs are REALLY good of course, but others just seem to be riding the TAL bandwagon. I was starting to wonder if anyone would ever do anything that wasn't based on individuals just mining "something that really happened." So here's an imaginative effort from some talented people who want to imagine and compose in another way. I hope it gets stations, an audience, and enough support to give it a chance to take more and more risks with its material.
