Curie Youth Radio’s Chris Cuello and Chris Flynn provide an insider’s look into the daily lives of Chicago public high school students. Their montage of interviews constructs an engaging narrative with different first-person accounts of being bullied for simply wearing gang-affiliated colors. At one point, after being asked whether retribution for the attackers though violence would be just, one of the students interviewed responds bluntly, “This is reality, sir. It is kind of ironic [that he would want to physically hurt the gang members who hurt him as payback]. But they had it coming.” The ambiance of the high school hallway provides a colorful backdrop. Slower narration at the beginning of the piece would help make a stronger opening for the piece, but the rest of the piece is of broadcast quality (in fact, the piece has been featured on Chicago Public Radio’s “Eight Forty-Eight” as part of the occasional “Southwest Side Stories” series).
