It was undoubtedly a marvellous experience. The radio jingle with its call. The cast is very good. The brilliant interpretations with voices, intonations, laughter and very vivid sensations. I loved it and if I find more works from this radio station I'll be interested in listening for sure.
I highly recommend it.
