Review of NABJ History
I had no idea that the NABJ's existance is tied to such a significant moment and period in American history and profound moments in at least one journalist's career. That made it worthy listening for this former journalist and, while I waver a bit, I think the average listener would find it equally engaging.
It might get a boost from a newly written lead. I also want Angela to keep growing as a presenter but she kept me listening from start to finish.
I didn't care for the Temptations song insert (It was the Temps?). At the very least, it would have benefitted from tighter production values when the song was used in combination with Angela's narration.
Good listening, however, and I sent it on for one of my producers to consider for airplay on her program.
