Patricia Burgos delivers an outstanding performance in Lona Bailey’s 'The Wicked Witch of the West: The Enduring Legacy of a Feminist Icon.' Her narration is both compelling and nuanced, bringing a depth to the character that goes beyond the original Wizard of Oz. The pacing is expertly controlled, allowing each revelation about the witch's complex motivations to land with impact. While some might find the feminist angle too overt, I found it enriching and thought-provoking. The production quality is top-notch, with excellent sound design that enhances the storytelling. A must-listen for anyone intrigued by reinterpreting classic stories from a new perspective.
