This piece was created when Laura and Gabbi ventured through their local flea market in Raleigh, North Carolina. They fished through the goods offered by many different vendors and found both treasures and trash. They were at times successful exercising their flea market skills of bargaining and hunting for the right item at the right price!
You'll hear what can and cannot be found on a typical saturday morning at the local flea market.

Review of Flea Market
The conversational tone helps guide the listener through this story. The producers also did a nice job bringing the sound of the story into the flea market.
This piece is a bit long and would benefit from a tighter edit. I think it would be stronger and have a better chance to keep listeners around 4-5 minutes.
I do like the girls voice and it is fun to hear them travel around the flea market and guide us with their thoughts.
This would make a good drop-in for a local news magazine or Weekend America.
