Review of Taxi Line

Nina Jacobi gives us a brief glimpse into the lives of Somali cab drivers waiting in line at the Portland, Oregopn Airport. While Jacobi's narration hovers and slightly disrupts the the listener's total immersion in the cab drivers world, this is a well paced piece which delivers a look not quite through th looking glass, but perhaps through the windshield, into lives that are often deeper than we know.
