This was an interesting episode. At first I didn't know if I was going to like it. But I ended up getting wrapped up in it, and I think the reason is, this show is especially suited to radio, because of the total silence on the part of Rodney. On TV or film the kid might have a goofy grin or really scary expression, but on radio, there is no visual image either. So the drama focuses on something neither seen nor heard, and I think this was very effective. The husband and wife (who deserve credit for sheer volume of dialogue) say something to Rodney and then .... nothing.
IMHO, the very good sound quality in this recording helped enhance the silences. Thanks for another good show.
