Piece Comment

Review of 4th of July Fireworks


This is the kind of piece that I wish I could hear on All Things Considered or Morning Edition. It's funny. It's well done. It has a point.

I had a conversation with a PD once who told me that he was especially looking for shows & pieces that didn't fit what traditionally sounded like Public Radio. He talked about how Tavis Smiley & Car Talk were both shows that expanded the sound of Public Radio and offered listeners something new and something that they would value. This piece does those things.
