This is a fun piece for use as a drop-in during a magazine show or as a discussion starter for a locally-produced talk show. The topic for such a show? How about "Alternative Ways of Getting or Staying in Shape"? Perhaps it could be used in the context of a local or state discussion of boxing rules. Also possibly useful in a show geared toward senior audiences.

Producer/host Charles Lane has a friendly and natural style. His delivery is a good example of how a host can relate to listeners comfortably rather than "announcing" at them.

I really like the "sound," in this piece. Given the topic, it's a natural bt it's fun to hear the slap of the punching bag, the ringing of the bells and the other gym sounds.

I am especially grateful for the journalistic "balance" of this piece including not only boxers and a gym owner but also a rep of the boxing association. I love the "realness" of the voices, especially of the USA Boxing guy and the trainer.

This piece is well enough done to cause a boxing skeptic like myself to consider "the other side" and recognize the potential value of boxing as a form of exercise or hobby.
