Good piece, but watch out for ...
This is great piece. It has good nat sound and is a well edited story. I listened to it twice before I licensed it. Thankfully I decided to listen to it one more time before my work was done and noticed there are two curse words in it that I don't recall seeing a disclaimer about, so watch out for "S@!+" ... they appear at 2:55 and 2:55.
