WRNI General Manager Joe O'Connor praises Trinity Rep Radio Theater as "a magical hour that feels timeless, with performances that entertain and illuminate." O'Connor says the show is "a smoothly intertwined mix of conversation and context resulting in remarkable storytelling - as if you had the finest actors and their director around your kitchen table."
