Review of In Verse and In Prose

A 21-gun salute to War News Radio! This timely/topical series is thoughtful and very well-produced (based on listening to this particular program.) The interviews are all by phone in this installment but the content is beyond reproach. Especially strong is the middle segment about the soldier-poets. One can't help but wonder if the military might try to curb war poetry the way they have internet access!

I think only a college radio station would take on the challenge of producing a weekly series such as this. And yet they do it so well there's no reason it shouldn't be heard on any NPR affiliate. Unless, of course, control issues of government funding make PD's uneasy. These committed young radio voices are a breath of fresh air.
