Fun piece; great idea with the "prompt" and the absurdity of the lies interspersed with what might actually be things someone would really say in a job interview.
This piece is great! I wish I could count the times I fibbed in a job interview and Scott's story plays that over the top. Listen for three minutes of good laughs because it's well worth it. Honestly! ":)

Love. This.
I had the pleasure of hearing Scott read this live and it's just as great on the radio!

Wonderful!
I love this piece! It captures the essence of the current economic blah-blah-blah. Scott's work captivates and entertains.

The best stuff on public radio!
I think that our friends have already covered it here, but this is great audio. Finally a reason to listen to public radio! Great job, Amy!

All the Right Moves
I'm certain Mr. Barbour not only got the job, but has since been named employee of the year. What a deliciously funny piece!

I listened to this piece a couple times and then sent it to family and friends and listened to it with them, too. So funny.
