I started listening to the first episode of
Caller Go Ahead this morning - a new podcast that is entirely comprised of voicemail messages left at (702) 546-6329. The content of the messages range from trivial "hello's" to more genuine outpourings of frustration. Listening to many of the callers creates a feeling of actual pathos - you understand their hard times through your own. And, sometimes, you find them absurd and ridiculous and causing their own problems. It's just like life!
I also have a weird affinity for the sound quality of voicemails. There's always something a bit hollow and distant with them that I find appealing. Not to mention the anonymity of the blind phone number that gives people the ability to say whatever they want.
Long story short,
start listening, it seems worth a spin.
