THE ONION'S FINEST NEWS REPORTING VOL. ONE

From the pages of the Wisconsin-based satiric newspaper, this audio program collects stories you won't find in the news--we hope. With headlines like "Massive Oil Spill Results in Improved Wildlife Viscosity" and "Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes," THE ONION is packed with clever, offbeat humor. The production quality and vocal performances delight. But some elements--the endless repetition of theme and introductions as well as monotonous and overlong editorials--can be tedious. While this quality recording is plenty of fun, its approach precludes family listening. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
