Series: Talk of Alaska - Kids These Days
From: Alaska Teen Media Institute
Length: 00:02:34
Talk of Alaska - Kids These Days discussed the topic, "What's Next After High School" in April. ATMI's Caitlin Garing, a senior, wrote and produced this detective/mystery Think Piece for that show. The idea was to establish that not all kids want to go to college, and that not all kids should. But, some parents might have a hard time dealing with that.
This piece aired April 19, 2005 statewide on the Alaska Public Radio Network. Callers from all over Alaska called in to the program.

Review of Think Piece on Life After High SchoolI 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... |

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.
