Review of Footing the Bill: Who Pays for the Absent Fatherhood?


Polished, informative and very interesting. This piece was very well produced. I can imagine hearing it on the radio.

The piece is crafted with enough statistics and personal perspectives create well rounded news piece and leaves you wanting to hear more.

I liked how the first thing you hear is the sound of a child before you the narrator starts explaining about the concept of absent fathers. The interviews fit perfectly and were merged into the narrative story without seeming awkward or out of place.

The narrator provided a lot of useful information that personally I knew nothing about. You don't always think about things like this until your presented with the facts and numbers to back them up.

The piece stood on its own. It was well produced and well spoken. If you weren't familiar with this before hearing the piece, you are greatly more knowledgeable now than before.
