For PD's looking for a piece done with the well-known PR sound, this will work well. The piece focused on the People's Temple, the church who brought us the Jonestown Massacre, through people who were members of the People's Temple but didn't die at Jonestown. The piece alternates between two interviewees, who at times even pick up on each other's sentences via edits (not just a married couple interrupting each other). The editing is nicely done, good sound, good music, it is an energetic piece. Very little reporter voice, just at the front and end, but it couldn't be edited off (BG music).
This piece is 10 minutes long, and I was surprised when it was over, because it seemed much shorter. It is very engaging. While I listened, I surfed a little to find out more about the People's Temple.
