Short But Sweet
Donna's 'What Do You Want To Be?' captures perfectly, in less than a minute, the most-asked question to every kid in America. It's a montage of varied and enthusiastic answers from kids and adults alike; the lighthearted music sets the mood and engages you. This is definitely one of the lighter stories I've heard in a long while; I find it fun and refreshing. It makes you want to hear more radio like it.
Good work, Donna :)
