Review of The Progressive

This piece displays a lot of talent and understanding about how to make a sound rich and original radio piece. Ultimately it fell a bit flat though. I kept waiting and wanting to hear what the student newspaper actually sounded like - what were the articles, the opinions, the substance? We kept hearing ABOUT something that was new and provocative at the school, but as listeners we were never able to experience the content of the paper in any way, or make our own "judgment" of it for ourselves. I really think the piece needed that, a center, a landing. It felt like a lot of intro and not enough "core."
