why does this work?
Two Fridays in a row I have arrived to work in emotional shambles. Thanks, StoryCorps.

You get spare context and what amounts to a very short conversation. We know almost nothing about their lives. There is little character development. But I find myself inside the lives of the subjects immediately. Why?
