Comment for "St. Paul Island Social Life"

Review of St. Paul Island Social Life

I know how it feels to have nothing to do. I like to work to keep myself busy.
I thought the commentary in this piece was really good. The interviews were really good as well, but they sounded a lttle fuzzy.
All in all this is a great piece and I can relate to it a lot.

Review of A City Bigger Than

For someone to speak so beautifully of where their from is absolutly breath taking. I really am almost speech less after listening to this piece.
Great job Warren. I can't find anything wrong with this piece.It's just simply my favorite on this entire website.

Review of Think Piece: Days of Our Teenage Lives

This piece has a days of our lives theme with these really cool narrations going on throught the whole thing the scenarios are funny as well.
This is a neat idea.I wish I would have thought to do this.

Review of Roberto: We Don't Live in Huts

I to know how it feels to be judged on where your from and not who you are but this piece has a great subject.I think this piece deserves a listen because I think alot of people never think of jamican people coming to america as much as people from other places.
I had a little trouble understanding some of the script but other than that this piece is wonderful.

Comment for "Think Piece on Life After High School"

Review of Think Piece on Life After High School

This piece is set like an old detecive movie. It was pretty good, I would have never thought to do anything like that.
The detective voicing was really good. Also all of the nice sound effects showing up through out the piece were fitting.

Comment for "Teen Marriage"

Review of Teen Marriage

Holy cow! Teenage marrige. Thats a terrible idea, it was an idea I had one time and is the reason I cry every evening when I get home from school. Oh, wait, I'm writing a review. That was an entirely different story. My bad.
I thought this piece had some really good interviews in it and had a great script, but Helens voice was kinda mono-toned at times. All in all, this is a good piece with part of the moral decay of americas youth at the center of it.

Comment for "Family Separation"

Review of Family Separation

I didn't know that seperation through immigration was such a big problem after the families reunite, but this is a good topic for a piece.
At the start of the piece when you hear Jose's brother and then he tells you why he is acting like that was really cool.
It was a little rough following the story of the whole thing is the only trouble I had, but its still a good piece.

Comment for "Teen Marketing"

Review of Teen Marketing

This is a brutally truthful piece about teen marketing. I know it is sad that companies use teens as walking billboards, but the seagull I wear on my chest, is a seagull that I like. I pay for my clothes with my own money and I don't care who else wears them.
The interviews in this pieces are interviews that I like alot, the guys from TRU are good in the piece and "the girl beside the clothing rack" is kinda funny.
As far as feeling like a sheep, I don't. Not in the slightest way do I feel like a sheep, but I think that this "teen marketing" is just the way the world works.

Comment for "Dangers of the River Road"

Review of Dangers of the River Road

Driving is a big part of American culture and sometimes roads are dangerous, this piece tackles the topic in an understanding way.
I understand completely! The roads in eastern Kentucky are terrible. It’s almost like, to see beautiful country sides and tall evergreen trees in the forest you have to travel some horrible road that is on the edge of a cliff or some whatnot.
As dangerous as driving this road sounds, she is not very stressful in her voice to say be careful. I could barely hear her during the second musical interlude were she talks about the four teens that drown to death on that road when she was little, which is the part that really grabs you and gets your emotions going, I wish I could have heard it better. The script was written well. Its just her voice is so plain that it sort of pulled some of the life from the script. Also telling about her dad and why he chose to build their house we he did was pretty cool, maybe a sound clip from him would have been a little bit more neat than just saying what he said, but that’s about it as far as stuff that I caught.
The content of this piece is relevant to most of America because it deals with bad roads and we all know that they’re everywhere, so this is why I think this

Comment for "To Hug or Not to Hug?"

Review of To Hug or Not to Hug?

Wow! I had never thought about hugs so deeply until know, there's not a school day that goes by were I don't receive hug. Hugs mean a lot to me. They can cheer you up, let you know that some one cares, or even show that someone is trying to show you some affection.
I would consider my friends and I manly men, we eat meat that is cooked over an open flame, like man was meant to eat. Yet we still share big hugs and deep intimate conversations together all the time.
Steven did a great job at writing this piece. I really enjoyed the parts where it was written somewhat mockingly to keep it funny, but it still had a joking/serious point to it as well. Also to point out how society and mainstream media view and mock a male-to-male "heartfelt hug" was absolutely great.
I would love to hear this piece get played on the air around here, but the community is a slightly anti-gay community so I don’t know that it would sit so well with a lot of people.
I think this piece is great the way that it is. It got me to think about the topic and made me smile, so nothin' but kudos from this male-to-male "heartfelt hug" fan.
