The quick and sweet radio broadcast

Engaging voice actors brought this short tale to life. Romance ups and downs related as if you had run into a vivacious couple while sitting in an airport lounge. Brought my lunch hour to a close with a smile

Cute

The Story was short and cute. The narrators were very much in sync with each other and made the hour fly by. Just a short endearing love story.

Narration was Superb!

The performance Of the narrators made this story great! It was a delightful listen with the energy that the two characters shared, especially the female narration was done beautifully. I thought that the story was only lacking in it’s brevity. Nothing was explained about the daughter Sierra and what they’ve been doing for the past five years besides the divorce.
