Review of God is Talking to Me

Mr. Anderson uses interesting editing that both moves the story and, after time, mildly irritates. The audience must struggle to catch every detail, but the payoff is well worth it to the attentive listener. What Mr. Anderson accomplishes with the fact-paced no-pause cuts is a train-of-thought that moves about as fast as a brain does (or as fast as a mouth can imitate it), and the story matches that idea: God is telling the narrator to do a daisy-chain of things that lead to an eventual, endearing ending. The result is an hour's worth of material in a sprightly nin-and-a-half minutes. If I were a station, this isthe type of piece I would run, but not make a habit of running, as some listeners may not like its quick style.
