Review of Silly house rulesSeeing the title of this piece, I expected it to be fun and off-beat, and was pleased to find myself correct. The whole thing was rather simple and short; just a few quick interviews with students about odd rules around their homes. I was a bit down and frustrated before listening to the story; I hadn't had a very good day. However, the story was very quirky and funny, and, by the time I had finished it, I found that I felt much more cheerful than before. The sound wasn't perfect, and there were a few parts that I felt could have been cut out (such as pauses in talking, etc), but in a way, that really added to the overall effect: lighthearted and unconventional. I could easily see this being on a collegiate radio station in some form or another. |

Review of Silly house rules
Barbara Nave's exploration of what drives teenagers crazy about their parents is a funny, fresh take on the tiny things that can impact the relationship between parent and child.
The segment, in the form of a vox pop, is tightly-packed, and yet conveys a lot of information about these teenagers, and how their parents get upset at them over trivial matters.
The transitions were clean, and no narration was necessary. I found that this could be used perfectly as an intro for a segment on the amusing things that our parents get upset at teenagers about.
The responses were very well-chosen -- I laughed at every one!
