Travel Portrait 28
The Gab Hagglefest: Speed-Coaxing, Pressure-Pointing
April 7, 2010 [listen: part one, part two]

In this two-part travel portrait, Ed and Eddie, father and son match wits as they banter for their own benefit--each working an angle for the consumer good.

In part one, Speed-Coaxing, Ed attempts to "side dish." Steadfast, Eddie moderates his father's dietary habit. In part two, Pressure-Pointing, Eddie attempts to "gift shop." Steadily, Ed parentally guides his son towards a final purchase.

Filial bonding abounds as the duo retreat in Manhattan.
