YEB review of Fatalistic Teens Increase Risk of HIV Infection
This piece was heart-breaking, sincere and eye-opening. This is, hands-down, one of the best radio pieces that I've listened to. The piece was detailed, it had several different angles to it and was persoanl at the same time. The piece is also relatable. Everyone can understand the reckless behvaior of those who think they won't live. Take any of the characters from The Great Gatsby. THis piece was well-done with the perfect trimmings. Just like the perfect steak.
Definitly worth a taste.
