When I first listened to this piece, I took it very seriously. With a Ira Glass-like narration, both in style and sound, head-banging sounded like a true epidemic. It wasn't until his first interviewee mentioned that she had to carry a blackboard with her everywhere to interpret her sister's speech. The bedded music and interviews were extremely clever and well-scripted. The accents were appreciated. I would love to hear a serious piece by Max Jungreis. The editing and the narration was excellent. The real test is editing a candid interview. I'm positive Jungreis will do well. This piece is definitely worth a listen. It's humorously convincing and very well-done.
