Those who have known the man speculate as to why he would undertake such a dangerous risk. What has driven the man to this deadly precipice? What might drive him to persevere? Why would Jeff give Eric permission to email him mean things? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

I know it is a fan pick, but this episode was so boring. Awesome message, don’t get me wrong. It might even have been inspired by war veterans, after all some of the injuries from WWI were devastating (mustard gas).

But the episode is so ham fisted, with its reaally weak double-twist, to the main protagonist who probably didn’t have a stroke. It feels exploitative of people who face issues such as life-changing medical event or suicidal ideation. The advice to suicidal people in this radio play is so pollyanna and extremely unhelpful.

This episode is kind of awful.
