Autumn's Story
This is very touching piece. I respect Amy so much for telling her personal life story. It hurts to know that she got pregnant in her teens years, tried to have the baby, and found out that her baby was going to die within a couple of months within birth. This piece is very emotionally because you can hear in her voice how shy she is to speak about her life. It hurts know people go threw pregnancy and living a hard life at such a young age. This piece can give listeners reasons why to slow down while developing your teen years because you never know where you might end up.
Autumn's story will be heard by my daughter. There are several lessons to be learned from this simply produced, but emotionally charged piece. Autumn's story is no doubt often repeated, sometimes nearly verbatim, sometimes with dissimilar plots. Having pieces like this reach teens will help the teens in the short-term; nothing better than learning a lesson where the mistake is made not by you, but by someone else. In the long-term, it can bring a younger audience to public radio.
Not much production, some background rumble and voices, kinda short and simple. But gosh darn it, this piece stays with you. There's something about a lone person talking intimately into a recorder telling the most personal and difficult story of their lives. Draws you in like no other high tech production can do. This is a successful first person story and I hope that Amy continues producing. It's not easy to be this emotionally engaging and she did a good job....Where to air it? A magazine show that deals in first person diary stuff definitely. Certainly a good piece for stations to air for young people and the parents who love them....Dmae
