Summary: A boy born with a 300-button soundboard instead of vocal cords finds his place in the world...as the centerpiece of a story-telling radio station.

Opinion: I think this concept is actually quite lovely. It takes a creative mastermind to make a character communicate this well with only the use of body language and stock sound effects, not to mention write a story around him. 
10/10 I hope this show has more than one episode, because I would like to see how far this concept can be taken - the use of sound effects over dialogue.
