This is exactly what public radio listeners should hear more of, the small moments that make our bigger world. This will fit well in any program dealing with anything musical. The story is about the process of making an oboe reed, which apparently is a very intricate and personal process—Had no idea and neither will most listeners. The piece contains a beautiful assortment of sounds and voices on a subject I think listeners will find intriguing.
