This piece is pretty interesting. It's got a lot going for it. And there is a lot of it. For an interview on a record label, there has to be a huge hook to keep the listener interested.
I am not quite sure that this topic and interview is worthy of an hour of air time.
Technically, there is some editing to do. The billboard and Newscast hole are not NPR starndard so you might want to triple check the timings if you use this piece. Also, there are gaps between the songs and the interview segments that should be tightened up.
To be sure, this is not AAA music. It's techno loud. I love it! It reminds of days gone by an youth gone out the window. There a long cuts of music interspersed with the interview segments that, frankly, are going to be shocking the vast amount of the public radio audience. I am not sure if and where we would use this on WTMD.
The interviewer is good. Well paced. Great Questions. But there seems to be bit of a disconnect. I learned a lot about this record label and it is an interesting story, but the subjects are not the best interviews. At 10 minutes, the story would be better told.
