This is great radio. Very well produced. I really enjoyed this piece. It is authentic, real and engaging. This is what public radio does well. I extended my lunchtime walk to hear the entire piece while listening to it on my iPod. You could call it an iPod moment.
I learned a lot and got a perspective of Dr. West that I have not heard before. I also enjoyed learning about how Dr. West's message affected Laquoia's decisions in life and how his words influenced her feelings about her father. Adding the first-person tape from Laquoia and the interview tape from the walk with Dr. West helped make it authentic. It was good to have tape from outside the studio and lecture hall.
This would be good for a station-produced magazine program or as a drop-in to the Tavis Smiley Show, since Cornel West is a regular guest on the program.
