The Connective Thread Through This Series:

Revisado: 03-26-18

If you could sum up Ep. 10: The Double Wing (Gamebreaker) in three words, what would they be?

It's all about Heart ... passionate focus wins the game.

Any additional comments?

I again note the soft sound of *Bom Bom Bom* in the background during segments; this is well designed to draw attention back to the cast, at natural points of defocusing.
Sound is clear, voices rich and warm.
An enjoyable use of time in listening.
Well done; would listen to additional episodes.

The Rest of the Story. For violent, modern times.

Revisado: 03-14-18

What did you love best about Ep. 5: Steubenville, Part 3: Town on Trial (Gamebreaker)?

Sound design by Derek John was especially well done during this episode; music is of just right tone, as emotional without being maudlin. Many sounds played at key points subtly move the piece along.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ep. 5: Steubenville, Part 3: Town on Trial (Gamebreaker)?

There were two momentous occasions. One was in the visual of the unmasked man being surrounded by those countering that sort of vendetta; it was vivid and while not entirely unexpected, has a ring of horror to it.

The other was the sorrow in Alexandria Goddard's voice when she speaks about regretting becoming involved in technological underground vigilantism.
These are the considerations we must make when dealing with ancient ills, as rape, in a technocentric society,

Which character – as performed by the narrator – was your favorite?

I appreciate the fact that the "human" behind the stories are vividly featured. Without visual cues, listeners form a visual, likely to be highly accurate.

Any additional comments?

This is important work. It's told compellingly, in interesting layers of story that merge and converge at points where one is almost ready to say "What about ... ?" and is then presented the information to satisfy listener's curiosity.

Now *that's* Dramatic Interpretation

Revisado: 08-30-14

If you could sum up The James Thurber Audio Collection in three words, what would they be?

Varied, extraordinarily well articulated, top-notch Dramatic Interpretation.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The mother in the ghost story was so clearly illuminated through the entire vocalization ... nearly perfectly stereotyped franticly anxious maternal figure. It's an entirely different archetype from what I perceive Keith Olbermann's to be ... but it's obvious he was drawing from someone he's known!

Have you listened to any of Keith Olbermann’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to a few pieces by Keith Olbermann before ... he is a tremendous narrator and voice actor, and this talent really seemed to take off, be highlighted, by this vocal performance of Thurber's works ... it was ... the beginning, and I think one of his piece de resistances.

Any additional comments?

Though not written for narration, it is perfectly suited for it; I don't imagine anyone better than Keith Olbermann, himself a native New Yorker and broadcaster/media talent of a century, as was Thurber, could have brought this to life in this precise, exactly right kind of way.
