Review of "What's your opinion of memory?"

This is an engaging little radio play that's basically a quirky cocktail party conversation -- two people talking about "the power of memory" quickly reveal much more about themselves than either person is ready to handle. I guess it's actually the opposite of small talk. You expect the people to say nothing and instead you get a fascinating window into their interior world. It's well produced, written and acted. A great piece of radio.
This piece would fit well as an interstitial on a talk show -- a nice break from a host / guest back and forth. I could also hear it as an intro piece to a larger conversation. Adventurous programmers could use it as a stand-alone piece of radio theater.
