Review of Recruiting Musician Soldiers

Man, the stuff you can find on Craigslist! This piece starts off sounding almost like one of those mockumentaries you might hear on Morning Edition on April Fool's Day. But this is the real deal, and as the piece progresses, producer Nathanael Johnson takes us into some thoughtful philosophical territory. I love Nathanael's treatment of this piece. He takes a few well-chosen opportunities to hit comic home-runs with his narration, but he also treats his subject with journalistic due-diligence and respect. This is a really well done story on a thought-provoking topic.
