This is a pretty good one. Gilbert Gottfrey is great as Roy, the manager of station 109.1. The plot line is fair...a kid learns that there is more to life then, well, death after he gets mistaken for a dead man and is tossed into the afterlife. He gets spit back out since he is not dead, and the proper man moves on. The theory that a radio station beyond the grave could exist is an interesting one, and makes for a great story. Well done.moreless
