Review of Hip-Hop Passover
How about also including a description of the hip hop haggadah? I wasn't familiar with it and now I'm dying to hear more of it. Of course-it'd be even better if you could offer it for stations to download and broadcast- and then they could air them back to back. The hip hop seder (or at least some of it) and then this story.
I'm left just really craving hearing more of the music- even just 40 seconds or one full minute of it! If you could get permission, then what about adding that to the end of the story?
Otherwise- it's great- as far as the story, the interview, and the mix -all well done.
