Piece Description
This collage mixes printing press rhythms and spoken word with interview scraps that would usually be edited out of a journalistic radio segment, including material that draws attention to the technical and interpersonal machinations of reporting. It's a behind-the-scenes view of journalism, which is a process of editing and selecting, rather than transmitting a complete record to the public. Special thanks to Cedric Peyronnet for providing the original printing press audio clips

Review of Pay No Attention to that man behind the curtain
This well-crafted piece pulls back the curtain on public radio. Rather than being ear candy only for fellow pubsters, it gives listeners an entertaining idea of how we make great radio. It's fun to hear reporters and producers at work - performing all the tricks that we do.
The quality of this production made me think it came from ABC Radio National's The Night Air - which is a high standard to match.
This would make a good segment for a night-time show, especially for a weeknight.
