Review of Tough Love


Tough Love is a great first person diary type story of a divorced mom who is struggling to raise her kids drug-free. The teen years are turbulent and Lisa's dilemma is one to which every parent can relate. In 13 minutes we undergo a fascinating journey and Lisa is a compelling storyteller as she narrates her life. I love the power of radio to draw you into an intimate relationship between teller and listener. Outfront excels in this form and I look forward to hearing more pieces from this show. This is a story that public radio listeners would relate to.
