This piece has a strong narrative, great use of sound and is well produced. It's nice to hear new work from David Brown, since many of us know his voice from Marketplace.
I had heard Daniel Johnston's name, but knew little else about him. This piece was informative and made a strong impression hearing Daniel himself and the interview story from the NYT critic.
The length is good too. It could work as a drop in to a local magazine or a segment of ME, ATC or Day to Day.
