Notes from the author:
This episode of "Job Talk" was my submission to the 2018 radio play writing contest sponsored by Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound, and which garnered third place at the live performance on February 2nd 2019. The actors performing were Larry Albert as The Announcer, Dave Selvig as Eddie Martin, Jenn Ollivier as April May (and the Pocket Soaps commercial characters), and Bryan Hendrickson as the Pocket Soaps spokesman. I think they did a fabulous job in portraying the characters and bringing my show to life. I'm working on a second episode, but don't know if or when it will be produced. Hope you enjoy it! - Posted with permission of the REPS Board of Directors. Kay Lutz
