Another good hitch-hiking piece. This one was put together well, with an almost stereo echo from the "hitchhiking is fun, safe and interesting" camp and an echo from the "hitchhiking is dangerous and full of psychopaths" camp. It falls more on the "safe" side, though, and with a couple of short anecdotal ties. This was a perfect piece for Savvy Traveler, where it apparently has already aired (which backs up my notion that this is a very well-produced piece). The pacing is easy and comfortable, and the sound is praiseworthy. If you are a PD in a region with a hitch-hiking issue, or maybe a travel season is approaching, this piece would fit.
