Review of Tackling Electronic Waste


Tight editing and crisp delivery characterize these daily 90-second modules that are part of the Isla Earth Radio Series produced by Catalina Island Conservancy. This module talks about e-waste, the lead, mercury, and cadmium byproducts of discarded computers, and how these elements are contaminating the environment. It is very well written and highly listenable; there is a lot of information in 90 seconds, and not a word is wasted. These would be excellent high quality drop-ins for magazine formats or as interstitials between programs or program elements. These are about as good as any short format informational series I have heard.
