Okay, this is fourth time I've tried to write a review for this piece. I liked it so much that I thought I'd wait to disengage from it a bit so that I could intellectualize my gut reaction to this piece---but that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Jeff is funny and thoughtful and he tells his story without a smidgen of self -consciousness. This piece is edited in such a way that there is this wonderful sense of immediacy. There's this sense that Jeff is exploring his thoughts on race, his identity, his family, for the very first time and you are lucky enough to listen in on his thought process.

This is the kind of story that you could hear on almost any show : This American Life, Weekend Edition, The Next Big Thing, Day to Day, etc...It's a perfect story for African American History Month but it would be appropriate wherever a PD has an 8 minute spot.-CM
