Review of The Whistler

Richie Duchon has produced a delightful and, dare I say, airy little gem here. His subject, Jeff Hannon, uses whistling as an escape from the world around him. In his own words, he finds himself whistling in those same moments he allows himself to "zone out." Mr. Hannon describes to us why he whistles, where he whistles, and the origins of his whistling affliction.
The only voice heard is that of the subject. It's a self-contained micro-feature. The producer claims to have already sold this to NPR's ATC. It seems like a good light-hearted filler just waiting for the proper opening in a show like that.
