Review of Part three: Anne Strike

This is a smart, well-meaning endeavor: Feature people with disabilities talking about their struggles for acceptance in their professions and in (British) society. In this piece, Anne Strike, a model who uses a wheelchair, and others in the advertising business talk about the barriers facing people with disabilities in that business.
I'm afraid I can't find much to say about the content of the piece because it's seriously marred by poor production values. The interview with Anne Strike was recorded over a very noisy phone line. (Some EQ might have improved it.) The host's voice is far louder than all the others. The pacing is clunky. No, it's not all about pristine production, but in this case the poor recording and mixing really do get in the way of a good story.
