Piece Comment

Review of Indigenous People's Music


What a great Idea! Let's kick mainstream media to the curb again!

The second part of the piece is really interesting. I learned a lot a about Native American's that knew before and that folks are working hard to bring something to people's attention.

This is essentially a feel good, David and Goliath story where David strikes the killer blow with Podcasting.

Funny how Podcasting is somehow going to save culture.

Over all this is a fine piece written for specific audience. It will work on other mainstream stations too. But the beginning is a bit elementary. There is a bad phone line with one of the interview guests that hinders the listeners ability to pay attention.

I appreciate the hosts wonderfully comforting voice. Their is a deftness here that really resonates and keeps you in a great comfort zone.

The second part, where we get to the content of what Native American's will hear on the podcasts is really interesting. But the interviewer does not provide us with a sense of scale. We never learn just how many folks are hearing this material through alternative delivery.

There are some station materials that should be provided too. Unless I'm missing something, no website is given or orther method for us to find and subscribe to this podcast. Heck, I might have gone and checked it out.
