Review of In a Bubble


Emotion- provoking pieces also tend to appeal to me -- especially ones like this, where you hear from people who you know (or who are at least familiar), but whose voices you've never heard.

This piece seems particularly timely as I write this now (3/25/05) with the school shootings in Red Lake.

In this piece, shy/quiet h.s. students open up and let you into their "bubbles" ... The producer uses sound from the school hallway so that you're not just in the kids' minds, but you're at school seeing things through their eyes.

The montage is well ordered and the piece well-mixed.
