Review of Aiming to Miss - The Art of Knife ThrowingWhat a great subject for a radio story. I really enjoyed learning about the Great Throwdini. I liked that you left in the audio of your visit to the Throwdini "Bat Cave". This helps add an authentic touch. This story is well produced, with good voicing and writing. It also was well edited. The writing kept me engaged and had a good arc to it. I also liked that you used Throwdini for your character reference. It helped keep in the mindset of learning about a knife thrower. This would make a great drop in for Day to Day, WESUN or Weekend America. It would also work great for local magazine. |
