I heard this on PRX today. I am a psychologist. I can't believe how powerfully you captured the experience so many of us have with these feelings. Of not being heard. Of techniques...and what/who is available to help folks truly heal and live.
This fictional piece really brings out the reality in suicide. Many people do not realize how real and common it is. "And, how does that make you feel" is a both touching and frightning story, that has a great cadence. Listen up.
I like audio fiction, and this piece is exactly the kind of stuff I like to hear. I listened to it three times to catch it all. Not that it wasn't there the first two times, but I'm a slow listener.
It is a great use of audio; disjointed but connected, dreamy and bedeviling. There is a lot of good stuff coming out of Blunt. These are pieces that are changing and pushing the edge a little farther out, and not just for the fun of it, but to take audio a little farther gives the rest of us room to operate in the comfortable confines of the accepted. This piece deserves the awards it has received.
Another intriguing, heartfelt piece from the Blunt Youth Project. This one shows real writing talent, is about an important subject (the agony that can be felt by young people, and how hard it is for them to feel there's any help) - plus it's straight from that point of view - lots of listeners with adolescents in their homes would be made to stop and think - good public service and art all in one! Professional production except for the acting being alittle rough - but these are real young people's voices - refreshing.
