Scapegoat has a surprise, in that a victim isn’t one; and the scapegoats are many who appear to victimize him. No, it isn’t political
Soldier Boy: Interesting story and realistic as of 2017. Another story ahead of its time.
Scapegoat has a great twist, but adds a looping time-travel angle suddenly, and also you’re left with the realization that having confronted himself, he is still himself, he is still Nan’s husband so…. where does he go? It’s fine to leave listeners with a paradox or ambiguity, but not with an irresolvable plot-hole.
So, I’d give it 4/4 stars but have claw back one. 3 out of 4.
