Piece Comment

"Designing Above..." Review


Excellent! This radio piece was a breath of fresh air. Molly certainly understands radio, and the necessary elements of a radio piece. The background noise immediately draws listeners into the story, hiking around the reservoir in Seattle with Molly. The narration and quotes are balanced: neither one is monopolizing the radio piece. I also love how Molly drew connections to her childhood experiences with “The Magic School Bus,” tying those episodes to her experience exploring the reservoir. She explained how the reservoir being underground has numerous benefits: it makes the water safer and provides an opportunity for open green space on the earth above. The piece is great. No criticism here!
