This piece has a strong narrative, great use of sound and is well produced. It's nice to hear new work from David Brown, since many of us know his voice from Marketplace.

I had heard Daniel Johnston's name, but knew little else about him. This piece was informative and made a strong impression hearing Daniel himself and the interview story from the NYT critic.

The length is good too. It could work as a drop in to a local magazine or a segment of ME, ATC or Day to Day.

This sound montage lets people in their early 20s tell listeners about life after college. It's definitely intriguing and outside the usual public radio sound. It needs a bit of touching up to make it air friendly, but it's worth putting into a showcase slot and would probably do best on a weeknight evening or on a weekend afternoon or evening.

The sound montage definitely grabs the ear and the use of sound is just as important as what the students are saying. We've all heard and experienced life in our early 20s, so this piece let's us hear the views of the young people in an artful way. It's also interesting to hear what phrases and words are mixed and repeated.

It's good that this type of radio is produced. It helps explore new ways of storytelling outside the usual framework. Nice job Carlin.

I liked the way Greg told this in the style of a classic tale. The narrative worked well and kept me engaged. I was glad to hear a a story. It worked as if Greg was telling a story to friends.

The use of sound was strong. I liked hearing several points of view. Some tape from a few more family members, or if possible, some of the potential troublemakers, would have made the piece even stronger.

This style of storytelling is something the KRCB youth do well. It something also heard well in the KRCB "Conversation with Cornel West" piece from Laquoia Simmons.

This would work well in a local magazine program or a drop-in to a news magazine, such as Day to Day.

The producers did a great job bringing in lots of tape and letting the voices tell the story. It brought a human-tone to the story. I'm glad to hear balance with the phone interviews near the end of the program. This was good radio storytelling.

This program exposed something I knew nothing about. Even though the topic is not local, I think it is relevant to many communities across the country dealing with polluted areas and government agenices.

This would work well in a 29 minute showcase slot or as 1/2 of a 60 minute showcase slot. It could also work as part of a locally-produced news magazine.

Another fantastic piece from Jay Allison and the Kitchen Sisters. This piece is sound rich and full of information. Well done! Even you heard it when it aired six years ago, it is worth hearing again.

I knew little about the Lectors before hearing this piece. With the interviews and archive tape, the sound told the story - one of the best things about public radio. The story flows well and keeps the listener engaged. The focus is tight and has a strong narrative. The interviews also help the listener paint a picture of the cigar rollers and the Lectors - another wonderful thing about public radio.

This piece would work well on a local news magazine or as a holiday special. It could also work as a format-breaker for a holiday version of ATC.

An easy way to make an hour would be 5 minute NPR/BBC newscast, this piece and then a 29 minute special.

This is great comedy and is perfect for enjoyment on the radio. I laughed out loud several times, especially during the phone calls. This is a funny, funny piece! The piece is paced well and keeps the listener engaged.

This would work great on a holiday or as a special anytime, probably best on a weeknight or Saturday.

Nice work, we could use more of this on the radio.

You don't hear radio like this very often. This is well produced with good use of sound and editing. Lots of effort went into this - kudos on producing this.

The skits were good, but I would find some of them hard to follow if I was listening as a typical listener does - which is without headphones, on the go, in the car, doing chores etc. It might help if they were a bit shorter or possibly included some narration, like the kind of narration sometimes heard in old radio theater.

This would fit well after APHC or possibly before or after LA Theatre Works.

I enjoyed hearing the music of Sloan Wainwright. The interview gave good insight into what motivates her and influences her music. We also heard a nice variety of her music.

This show would work as part of a music block, possibly before or after World Cafe. It would also fit into any folk music blocks. It could also work well in the morning - it is light enough to work on a weekend morning.

I thought structurally the show could use a bit more continuity and flow. The creative corner segment and review both felt a bit out of place within the hour. They would be better both at the end of hour. They are good segments and the placement could be experimented with to find the right spot in the hour. I thought the music review could have used a bit more insight and commentary and less of the music. Otherwise, nicely done.

This piece has lots of sound and makes good use of it. However, I had trouble finding a narrative arc. I got a good sense of life on the island and Hunter's character. The piece would have been stronger with some sort of specific conflict or problem threatening the island or a more immediate challenge to life on the island. The piece, at 7 minutes, seemed like an audio postcard that would be stronger closer to 3 minutes in length.

Samantha did a good job capturing Hunter in a sound-rich format. The piece also was well written, letting the characters tell the story.

This piece would fit well in a magazine or showcase program about life in the Northeast or life in rural/smalltown America.

This is great radio. Very well produced. I really enjoyed this piece. It is authentic, real and engaging. This is what public radio does well. I extended my lunchtime walk to hear the entire piece while listening to it on my iPod. You could call it an iPod moment.

I learned a lot and got a perspective of Dr. West that I have not heard before. I also enjoyed learning about how Dr. West's message affected Laquoia's decisions in life and how his words influenced her feelings about her father. Adding the first-person tape from Laquoia and the interview tape from the walk with Dr. West helped make it authentic. It was good to have tape from outside the studio and lecture hall.

This would be good for a station-produced magazine program or as a drop-in to the Tavis Smiley Show, since Cornel West is a regular guest on the program.

This is an outstanding documentary. I recommend finding a slot to broadcast it. It is sound rich and compelling. There is a good narrative throughout the hour. The producers did a great job of letting the girls tell the story.

The writing and ambient tape gives a good sense of place. It provides continuity and sets scenes, but lets the tape tell the story.

The stories are disturbing, but important to hear. This is great public radio.

The production value on this piece is poor - making it hard to focus on the content of the essay. The background sound, which is unexplained, drowns out the voicing in most of the story. Unless you're wearing headphones, you can't understand the words. Otherwise, the essay style and conversational tone are authentic sounding.

This is an outstanding documentary. We received excellent response from listeners. I was impressed with the amount of archive tape, especially from Ms. Jordan. Hearing the speech about Watergate from the floor of Congress was riveting. Listening to the audio clips from Tom Brokaw, Bill Clinton and others helped provide context for listeners who don't know Barbara Jordan. A job well done by KUT.

This is very funny - espcially the last 10 minutes. Creative and different sounding. Good narative and use of tape. Fresh approach to our use of cellphones.
