Review of "Teacher Crush Vox"Polished and well-produced, this lighthearted piece about students' crushes on teachers is sure to bring a smile to its listeners. The ambiance of a lively classroom (or is it the cafeteria, or a hallway?) helps to link the different interviews together, and provides color and a sense of location. The editing and sound mixing is especially well done. Stay tuned for a surprisingly effective intercutting transition between interviews at around 00:28. Fergie's "Clumsy" provides a bouncy, playful soundtrack. As the description notes, this piece would be quite appropriate to air on this year's National Teacher Day on May 5th. |

Review of "Teacher Crush Vox"
Fun piece! It's easily relatable - after all, who hasn't ever had a crush on a teacher? - and flows smoothly from question to question. An upbeat song excellently faded in and out makes for a lively listen. Unfortunately, the section of interwoven clips at :27 went by too quickly for me to comprehend until I had listened to it multiple times. One or two clips are spaced too closely to each other and there are a small number of level discrepancies, but overall, the producer(s) did a great job working with and around the high school ambience noise. "Teacher Crush Vox" definitely entertains with humorous responses from a variety of high school students.
