Review of Housekeeping: Behind the Scenes

I wholeheartedly disagree. If everything sounded like we were in the studio all the time, it would be pretty boring. (Not to mention that public radio really lacks good monster truck ads.) I really don't understand the desire for many in public radio to make things sound dead (soundproofed) or the constant complaining about phone sound. Isn't the content more important? In this case, the echo helps set the listener in the bathroom so it provides a transition.
My only complaint (this is pure opinion) is that I'm not sure what a song about a tall girl from Brazil other than the line "...she just doesn't see.." has to do with anything about North American hotels. I'm actually in favor of talking over song lyrics, but I do believe that they should be relevant to the story otherwise it can be distracting. I would have put a variety of music underneath. Maybe I'm missing the point. It's been known to happen.
