A simple, poppy piece about breaking up. A survey piece including: most common reason for breaking up, why fighting is ok, prefered methods of breaking-up, and advice for getting "over it." This piece was amusing, though I'm not sure that was its goal. If you were to pick a daily segment to increase listenership enjoyment in the age ranges 12-16, this would probably do the trick, however, for a grown-up audience, this piece was lacking a little depth. I did enjoy the style of assembling all the different voices. Recommended for a younger, lighter NPR only.
