Review of Heather the Seamstress

KUOW does a great job with testimonials. The two from Heather and one from Eric are a nice way to talk about public radio in a different light. Music is good and produciton nice.

Review of Heather the Seamstress

Heather sews wedding dresses -- we hear her sewing machine and some old fashioned music. She compares the art of sewing and the art of radio as both old fashioned and both an art that takes time (telling stories and providing news). Somebody has to make the dresses and somebody has to do good radio! She makes a good point without using all the usual arguements.
Different. Nice.
