Review of Smells Like Money to MeGreat title, especially when the fisherman point out that the funny smell is actually money. Descriptive voiceover during good natural sound. I could easily hear this anytime on a national magazine show. Interesting on it's own, doesn't need to be part of a fishing segment or anything like that. I really like pieces like this, that bring into focus a work-life that I wouldn't otherwise know about it. It took a couple of interesting tangents, too. |

Review of Smells Like Money to MeAfter hearing this piece you will know what sea cucumbers are, who buys and eats them and who doesn't (and why), how much money you can make fishing for them, how to process them, which central American countries almost all the sea cucumber processors at this plant come from, how much it would cost to smuggle their children here, what they had for dinner that night, what you would pay for rent if you were willing to share a trailer with eight other people, and more. An interesting and straightforward piece, complete with a sense of place. |

Review of Smells Like Money to Me
There is a lot of good stuff -- great audio from the boat and the factory, great quotes like the title -- but there are really two, maybe even three stories bundled into this one. Break 'em out so each story can breathe.
