Review of Local Durham Bands: The Butchies

Thank God Young People Are Getting Into Radio!
Ok, let's be honest. No one knows the Butchies..at least outside of Durham. But this piece lets the band speak for itself and is really well produced. I really appreciate the effort put forth here.
The interviewer handled the production well by doing post interview nation. Of course, she could be more polished and a few more practice sessions might have yielded a bit better delivery. But the subject is a great interview and the questions produced a semi interesting interview.
I'm an old gay dude so I am a bit jaded on pieces like this. The band (yeah yeah you get it) is a bit butch and gay all at the same time. Shocking! This piece could have dove deeper into the band's personal motivation and stays pretty much on the surface. But what the heck, most interviewers three times the youth range here don't interview any better.
I hope that stations in the region gave this piece a whirl. It's worth providing airtime to this group for them to get feedback and exposure.
