This ending is uniquely "radio"...a televised version of the story couldn't have concealed the turning point until the final line, but also couldn't have had the same ending sound effect, which IMO is the best part of the episode.
At 3:00 the narrator describes meeting a guide at the currency manufacturer (later fired for her naughty behavior at an office party!) who was speaking to him while wearing an outfit described as "neo-Minoan." In ancient art, Minoan women are pictured wearing floor-length dressrs and floofy blouses that were open to reveal their breasts . . . which probably explains why, as the narrator explains, he wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying.
Journalism? Awesome show I'm so glad that I found it. Need more thumbs up
These are excellent. Ty
Wonderful listening!

One of my favorites!
Another 'new found' episode. Unexpected ending .
The ending made me laugh

Interesting detail, these stories are so good!
That ending is slightly unsettling.
I love the sound of a buzz saw at 1:32
