Authentic and smooth
This feature provides an interesting new take on the world of teenage wilderness programs. Not only does HOWL seem to take more risks than most adventure programs I’ve heard of (bear survival, anyone?), but it was also conceived by an 18-year-old girl who had just finished climbing Denali. The piece is very sound technically, although Aviva could tighten up the narration-to-music transition at the end of the piece. Interspersing HOWL program participants’ voices with narration and an interview of the founder creates a solid a youth-radio voice, but one of the best kind: authentic, easy to listen to, and smooth.
