Great use of sound in this story. Both for scene setting and letting the characters in the piece tell the story with little narration required. Nicely done. I definitely got squeamish, but enjoyed hearing about cooking the oysters and whether folks ate them. Don't know if I would eat them, especially after the slimy description.
Shanna's story has a good arc; the setup with the dinner before the auction, the auction and then what the auction funds for a conclusion. It was great to hear, with just the brief transition by Shanna, the students and auction attendees telling what they expected regarding work. Great use of sound to let them tell the story.
Good subject matter and tone in telling it.
This would make for a good drop-in within Weekend America or Day to Day.
