I loved your piece. Up until this day I have still not had that conversation with my mother. My sister taught me and that is ok but I think that it does something when the person who actually made you had this conversation. And thats why I love your piece because you allowed me to share your conversation with your parents and I feel better because even though I never had it with my parents I had it with yours, and so I thank you for letting me sit down too!! I love your inteviewing skills when someone came off track you put them right into the spot where you started off. The only I would change is the sound of your interviews. Next time you do a piece make sure the mic is kind of on the side to avoid the pah sound and up close so I can hear them clearer, other than that great job and good topic.

Blunt Youth Radio's "The Talk" starts out on a high note, with appropriate, fun music and an amusing quote about "self-abuse", and holds its awkwardly hilarious tone for the duration of the piece. The pacing is wonderful - during a montage of student recollections, each quote lasts just the right amount of time, and the viewpoints are mixed up nicely. The icing on the cake, however, was the narrator's conversation with her parents, which reminded me all too well of my own embarrassing conversations with my flustered mother. The only change I'd make is to spice up the narration a little - a topic this dynamic and fun deserves an equally fun and dynamic tone. The piece would work well in any context - as part of a series, or just a fun little interstitial on its own.
