I've listened to this episode before and enjoyed it again the second time. My impressions this time were the same:
The beginning of Act 1 is the longest single take I've heard in a RMT show (it lasts almost ten minutes); what great repartee between Katie and the Sergeant (I mean, tell me they aren't going to hook up); I am more and more impressed with radio actors, when they can sustain accents like these for prolonged periods (especially Terri Keane, I didn't even realize it was her at first); Fred Gwynne is excellent as usual, but top billing could have gone to Lloyd Batista; a story is a good one when it is predictable and you still enjoy it; I like the touch of Sousa at the end; and finally, a great ending line, "would you like to go home with me and ... meet me mother?". If you like this show, check out one of my all-time favorites, A Very Dear Ghost Indeed (760920). I like hearing new shows on this episode but I'm also finding that when the show is one I've heard before, I often gain things I missed the first time.
