Review of Passover candy - an audio tour of a Lower East Side candy store


Blake does a nice job of taking us on an audio tour of this great candy store. I had no idea that Kosher candy canes and chocolate rabbits exist. I'm glad I learned something new from this piece. I like the sense of place from recording the interview/tour in the store. Overall, a great piece. It would work great for a drop-in to any magazine during Passover. Audio tours are hard to do and this one is well done.

A few suggestions. Blake should put his name at the top of the piece so we know who he is and it would self-contain the piece. I like the description of the store and the candy, but a few more visuals would be helpful. What is the clientele like? Blake could tell us this based on his observation. A bit more on the candy would be helpful too - what does it look like, feel like etc. There is some of this, and it is good, but I would like to hear a bit more.
