Review of The Hula Lesson


We ran this special a few years ago - it's great - I think we'll run it again.

Outer Voices has an established record of producing high-quality, engaging and sound rich documentaries. This one is no different.

This special provides excellent public service and rich production values.

The great thing is it gives listeners to really learn about the Hula - far more than you would ever learn attending one. Even when you visit Hawaii, you have to really make an effort to lean about the culture and history.

Also, it's great to learn about the Hula. It's easy for us to confuse that at a Luau, dances from around Polynesia are all performed.

As with the other great docs from Stephanie and her team, this special is sound rich and lets the tape tell the story, with minimum narration.

I encourage you to schedule this for your showcase slot or for a holiday special.
