Review of How Did You Know When You Knew?


What is good radio? I think good radio is when you take a story from an individual who, ostensibly, has nothing in common with most listeners and you dissect the details down to the human level, the place to which we can all relate. Outright Radio, and subsequently this program, does just that. These stories are compelling not because of, or despite of the subject matter, but simply because these are in depth, adult stories well told and well produced. Listen to Outright Radio not because it's about gay subjects, but because these are simply interesting stories compellingly told.
The fact that most of the speakers are bourgeois, dead average Joes and Janes makes the program accessible to even the most land's most conservative regions. As the first interviewee says "I'm normal and this happened to me!"
