Summary: Explores the difficult subject, in four segments, of preparing simultaneously for a baby's birth and for a baby's death. Includes perspectives of a pregnant mother, support practitioners, ethics forum, and the use of language.
A local program containing interesting and valuable information about prenatal hospice care. The producer has gotten really good interviews with parents, nurses and doctors ? these people are impressive. The subject is divided into four segments (which are also available on PRX in segment form). In the first, the section is really carried by an articulate parent ? in the last, the subject of language used in diagnosis and care was very interesting. I don?t understand the concept of the program: ?the interface of life with the human experience.? What is the difference between those two things exactly? Other comments: the producer needs to work on achieving a more natural phrasing and rhythm with his reading. The audio quality also needs to be improved. Recordings are noisy and a bit distorted, while the music is a little too saturated. And I KNOW how hard resolving that is now that we can all work alone!
