Review of Think Piece on Life After High School

This piece is set like an old detecive movie. It was pretty good, I would have never thought to do anything like that.
The detective voicing was really good. Also all of the nice sound effects showing up through out the piece were fitting.

Review of Think Piece on Life After High School

I really enjoyed this piece. It's an unusual approach to a question frequently addressed by youth radio producers. The music was well-placed, and the voicing was engaging. My main quibble is that it was too short -- it felt like an introduction to a longer story rather than a self-contained piece. I could hear it as a kick start for a discussion about options available to young people in the work force. But what I'd really like is to hear more about the case...
