Review of Slangin
A great youth produced piece on the uses and perceptions of Slang from the Youth Document Durham Summer Youth Project in Durham North Carolina. The hosts explore contemporary urban slang by interviewing people on the street, college professors, and more. Their enjoyment is only slightly masked by their matter of fact narration, but the ride is a fun one, perhaps leaving the listener to wonder just what "crunk", and "for shizzle" really mean.
Whether you figure it out or not you've got a fine radio piece on your hand that would be great to air during pm drive time or on a Saturday afternoon. Who knows you and your listeners might "blow up real big"
Peace.
