Here at Lucky Dog, we love a corporate entity that has fun. Our friends at Archer Malmo have fun. We have fun too.

Here, we asked a portion of our staff to narrow down just exactly why working here is so much fun anyway.

The Pilot, The Lawyer, and The Coach

So here's a batch of radio spots we had a lot of fun producing. Once again, the old maxim "great radio starts with great writing" applies here. With that in mind, the voice talent did some exceptional work breathing life into these characters.

Our pilot nailed that cool, underplayed, this-is-your-pilot-speaking voice:

Our lawyer knocked it out of the park with his Foghorn Leghorn meets Atticus Finch take on the script:

And finally, our coach sounded just like the coach we had for Little League football. Gruff but also kind, a little world weary yet without the angst, he's more of a weathered boyscout than a hardened soldier:

As for the announcer, what can we say? Think of him as a cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Steven Wright.

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

-Barbara Hall, Northern Exposure, Rosebud, 1993
