Review of Can Your Lunch Kill You?
This is a beautifully written, sound rich piece about the status of food safety in America. Producer Tanya Ott weaves narration, interviews and natural sound into a well-edited, nicely mixed news feature. She manages to convey a lot of information in an interesting and listenable manner. I like the style of her delivery and quality of her voice. This would make a nice feature in any news magazine program.
