Piece Description

What better way to warm up a crowd? They're frozen. They're dead. They're Turkeys. And we're bowling them on the Nascar track and trying to hit bowling pins or another human being, something!, before the races begin.

Review of Turkey Bowling with Nascar Nation

Heather was in the light-hearted spirit of the subject, but I would like to hear more animation in her voice and hear her being more playful and teasing during the interaction with the contestants.

Liked the fact that early on the concept was explained and I thought the early insertion of the parody song was cute.

Was confused by the Guess Who track and a couple of times I was distracted by the loud background noise (it must be an enormous challenge to reduce that at a race track).

This is so very subjective but I would have considered dropping in the closing song immediately following the audio from the triumphant contestant.

I love the fact that Heather isn't shy about approaching an amusing subject and a subject that is probably going to bring about some criticism.
