Review of The Talk


The intro to this segment drew me right in, with the narrator and the Right Said Fred song ("I'm too sexy for my shirt"). The following vox pop of kids talking about their own "sex talks" is great--I wanted to hear more! This piece is personal, which is why it works. Johanna as a teen was able to get answers from her peers that an "adult" might not have got from them. At the end, Johanna asks her own parents, and it's not too awkward. Air this amusing piece that deals head on with an awkward topic in a humorous, personal and touching way.
