Jim May is an articulate speaker and worthy of a profile. But the relentless pacing with no breathing space and the use of sound effects and music in the background detracts from what could be an insightful slice of life piece. I think this is worth re-doing simply to add a some breaths. I also wanted to hear sounds of mushing. This piece is called "The Life of Mushing" but where is the sound? I really want to hear him mushing. I want to hear his dogs and his relationship to them. He's a great storyteller but I want to be "showed" more than "told" what this life of mushing is like. This is not to say this piece wouldn't appeal as a monologue to some stations. But it's a bit long as a monologue and I think the subject would be better served with more documentary elements. I hope the producer will rework it because there is potential here.
