Review of "Chicagoans Consider Their Road Not Taken"

This is a beautiful piece, short and sweet. Curie Youth Radio's Armand Curtis mixes three different voices that both recite Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" and share reflections on the choices they have made personally. The layering of voices creates a feeling that the listener is traveling down a road herself, stopping to hear the next person in a relay of voices. I would encourage the producer to create a longer piece on the topic of choices if there is more interesting tape available. This would be a nice addition to a program about choices, and it's especially appropriate for graduation season.
