Priscilla Does It AgainPriscilla is known for her honesty in the radio stories she creates; in 'Mother', she talked about how difficult it was growing up without a mother. Now, in her latest piece she's even more courageous, explaining her struggle with prescribed drugs. The piece is very well written; you can tell Priscilla is very sincere, and isn't afraid to share her life and her story. I thought the music was quite complimentary to the story as well. All in all, a great piece; I really hope to hear it on the radio. |
