This was about what I expected when I found "Subway Etiquette" to review. It's a nice little piece about how to act on a subway. I thought perhaps there would be some strange do's and don'ts but mostly it was straightforward stuff. The piece was well produced, without narration, and I can hear it fitting in a lot of places, like in a travel show about NYC (or, I suppose, other subway-enhanced cities). It's a good pace and is easy-going and could be a part of many shows -- maybe psychology. I did find myself wanting to hear some of the students in action, hearing what was said when they asked their questions.
This is a wonderful snapshot of social behavior. Many of the insights into subway etiquette also apply to human psychology above ground. Just about everyone has taken a subway in their life--and for those who haven't this piece will resonate with anyone who has been in a library or a doctor's office--wherever similar rules of behavior apply. Whether you are a New York city slicker or a farmer in southern Illinois you will enjoy this piece. This is a perfect piece to drop in during Morning Edition or All things Considered.
