This is a short essay scored with music and sound effects about a local street character in this youth reporter's neighborhood. The story is short and would work well as a companion piece or coda to a longer feature about people living on the street, about loneliness or about death and loss. Jillian's writing is very descriptive and she does a good job painting a picture of what life must be like for Crazy Jimmy. Her read is good and the piece moves along at a fine clip.

However, after hearing this piece, I'm confused as to why the reporter didn't interview Jimmy himself. This is an essay full of speculation about a particular person when, in fact, the person is clearly available for comment. While listening, I kept expecting the reporter to go to tape and I was disappointed when the piece ended without even a clip from Crazy Jimmy.

That said, I think this piece would be hard pressed to stand on its own but would really shine when played in conjunction with a related feature.
