Product Description in English:

Let me translate the above annotation into English words, rather than just spell Russian words in Latin letters:

"Yuri Miljutin wrote "Chanita's Kiss" in 1955, right before the Worldwide Festival of Youth and Students held in Moscow. The musical is based on Latin American undertones and rhythms. Four students visit a small town of San-Lorento, birthplace of one of them - a beautiful singer Chanita. A crooked wealthy bar owner Chezare is running for the city mayor's office. He falls for Chanita and threatens to imprison her friends unless she marries him."

Members Reviews:

For cartoon aficionados

This is an interesting collection of cartoon-related radio programming together with some private recordings (possibly never before broadcast), all collected and commented on by Joe Bevilacqua in his podcasts. It's guaranteed to be of interest to cartoon fans and historians.

Unfortunately, it loses a star purely because of poor editing. A lot of time is wasted on long pointless stretches of theme music, repeated credits, etc. Some episodic stories are widely separated, and one is even told out of order. Tighter editing, with an eye to combining a ragbag of podcasts into a single coherent audiobook, would have greatly improved the experience.
