Review of Finding Love in a Nevada Brothel

Choosing tones from the PRX list of options - "sweet" - well, I would rather have said "touching" maybe or even "moving" but they weren't in the list. "Intriguing" - definitely. I've always wondered what ordinary life might be like in a brothel. "Inspiring" - it really is oddly inspiring to hear about the relationship between a lonely but decent trucker from Canada and a generous-hearted Nevada prostitute who describes herself as "a real people person". Not to mention Mom, the Madam, who looks after everybody, gives common sense advice to truckers in tears and makes sure the place has high standards of health and even higher levels of confidentiality. I also really liked the sound of this piece - not a lot of fancy sound effects, but just enough to give a sense of place. And, as luck would have it, both the trucker and the prostitute had great voices for radio. A really lovely piece!
