The President's Brain is Missing

P.J. Ochlan narrates a short story in which a White House staffer tries to find out where the president's brain has gone. After a series of scans reveals that the presidential skull is empty, his staff scrambles to discover its final resting place. Ochlan's wry narration is well suited to the story, while offering a hint of constrained humor. The work is short but filled with distinctive character voices, and the narrative is elevated by Ochlan's flowing cadence. Despite the brevity and a rushed ending that doesn't live up to the title's promise, Ochlan makes this an engaging listen. J.M.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
