[6] Dove's 1994 piece entitled Casual Workers, Hallucinations and Appropriate Ghosts has been interpreted as belonging to the larger domain of radio because of its "aural evocation of high-tech street erotics".

The piece was situated at the end of a series of adult video stores and presented an alternative view of the subject matter at hand on 42nd street.
