Most people enjoy baked goods, whether it's a nice piece of bread for a sandwich or a sweet treat like cakes and cookies, baked goods are just so tasty! But when we buy a pie or cookie, we don't often think of who made it, especially since most baked goods are made and shipped to us by large corporations.

But in most every town you can still find a true village baker, and that's who this piece highlights. Producer Terin Mayer brings us a feature on Paul Lovestrand, the baker for Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Paul's story is actually fascinating--we hear about his evolution from18-year-old student and part-time baker to years later, his full-time job of baking all night to supply baked goods for Carleton students and others.

The vox in this piece is really nice. You can really get a sense of being there, with the sounds of baking equipment going on in the background. Most of the time it's a pleasing undertone, but in a few places it got a little loud and distracting from hearing Paul.

The beginning vox (as Terin walks to the interview and talks about the upcoming interview) was a bit slow and the walking noise not immediately identifiable, so perhaps it could be edited to bring the time down (it clock in at about five minues) to a more typical feature length.

I also was a little confused by the philosophy recitation at the end--it took me a second listen to figure out what Terin was doing. Maybe a quick phrase to let us know what he's doing would help. However, this piece is a very nice portrait of a career we don't get to hear much about. I look forward to hearing more from Terin Mayer!
