I appreciate having another piece to this confusing and huge puzzle about what actually is going on in I raq. I never had the oppurtunity of hearing or seeing a piece where the journalist was telling there experience while out on the field... I enjoyed it!

I loved it, it was hilarious. I never heard from a parents perspective the nervous reaction that they get when there young child first asked them about sex!!! And for that you should be applauded for your honesty, but I never heard a piece without a bit of sound and I think that this put my imagination to work, and I liked that. I thought it was hilarious that in fact it wasnt what you thought it was and that made the whole piece tie in together!!! Good job!

I loved your piece. Up until this day I have still not had that conversation with my mother. My sister taught me and that is ok but I think that it does something when the person who actually made you had this conversation. And thats why I love your piece because you allowed me to share your conversation with your parents and I feel better because even though I never had it with my parents I had it with yours, and so I thank you for letting me sit down too!! I love your inteviewing skills when someone came off track you put them right into the spot where you started off. The only I would change is the sound of your interviews. Next time you do a piece make sure the mic is kind of on the side to avoid the pah sound and up close so I can hear them clearer, other than that great job and good topic.

This is a very different piece. Bravo to you, you have shown that radio pieces do not only have to be about news, but creativity as well. I admire the editing work and you really chose a great interview. He gave a lot of personality and life to your piece. Keep it up with what your doing, it was smooth and flowed like you just walked into the studio and recorded. You made me ask myself why do I love radio and it's because of listening to diverse stories like yours, closing my eyes seeing what I am hearing at the same time thinking about what radio does for me. T.V. can never beat that satisfaction of hearing a great story like yours. Keep up the good work.

The quality of your piece is well done. Most of the interviews were done outside and yet I heard them very well. But at the end of your piece I still wanted to hear more interviews from different citizens and none citizens. What about the people who were born here, could it be different from those who werent. You piece was very good but it had so much progress for more information. I think it provokes emotion thru the listener to hit as many feelings that they could have about your piece. I look forward to hear a longer piece from you.

This piece was very informative. I like this idea of using finger prints in order to use a credit card, but many conspiracy theorist ( which sometimes I am) would say is this another form of the government keeping track of the citizens. And thats what I think your piece was lacking a form of opinion. When people say opinion in the journalism world it is used as such a bad term but if you ask someone (a person who is not reporting on the topic) it can give your piece personality. Another thing I was looking for was the interview of the man who does identity theft for a living. How he did it could have been very informative to those listening so that we can avoid the pitfalls of identity theft. Your interview sound was well done. When you were narrating I could here you clearly. I think that the part when you used a paper bag as your ambience you should have used something that the listener would be able to recognize. I didnt know what it was at first I thought something was wrong with my earphones. But I appreciated your story you have made me more paranoid than I already am (lol) and I look forward to your next piece.

This is a gorgeous piece. It's very hard to write a piece about a topic that every journalist in the world is going to write about and be authentic and unique. And I think that you have achieved that in this piece. I have not heard or read the side of a reporter before, and it gives me another view on how someone else might feel. But on the same token since your interview with the reporter was as important in telling your piece the recording of the interview should be done in a more quieter place. Radio especially radio journalism is only heard not seen, so what the listener is hearing is most important whether it be ambient sound or the interview. But if there is something that distracts the listener while listening the goal of your story might be lost, because they may have missed something that was said and if its being heard on the radio there is no rewind button. I really appreciated you piece, I especially liked the fact that you made the reporter more human by mentioning that he smoked half a pack of cigarettes. Peolple look at katrina victums as refugees which they are not but by you putting his smoking habits in the story that has othing to do with the topic, it lightens it. It made me realize that this person still has a personality that it could be me tomorrow, just by you mentioning something as small as cigarettes. So I commend you.
