A humorous piece about impressing the neighborhood with your fireworks. Read the full description.

July4_medium_medium_small Humorous piece about setting off fireworks on the 4th. It's good to know going in that this is about Fireworks. Probably should mention that in the intro if you use this piece. One piece is dry (no music bed) the other had some music. Take your pick.

Review of 4th of July Fireworks

This is the kind of piece that I wish I could hear on All Things Considered or Morning Edition. It's funny. It's well done. It has a point.

I had a conversation with a PD once who told me that he was especially looking for shows & pieces that didn't fit what traditionally sounded like Public Radio. He talked about how Tavis Smiley & Car Talk were both shows that expanded the sound of Public Radio and offered listeners something new and something that they would value. This piece does those things.

Review of 4th of July Fireworks

Humorous, satirical, well done. This piece is perfect for BEFORE the 4th of July. The fireworks stands are already popping up along the rural roadsides. The version with the music bed gave me a sense of urgency that wasn't there when I listened to the dry version. This piece will certainly liven up any line-up in which it is placed.
