Like her country, Olena Koshil has been running non-stop for 20 years. At only 32, she manages a TV production company in Kiev. She speaks several languages and has been working in national TV since she was a teenager. In 2004, like many other urban professionals, she became involved in the political upheavals known as the Orange Revolution.

Just a little piece I did for the Third Coast Audio Festival in 2006. The rules were:
- each starts with some manifestation of: “To begin with, they never got along.”
- each includes a discernible pre-recorded voice, rhythmic noise, and exclamation
- each lasts exactly 2:30 minutes
