Katie begins the piece by explaining that she is speaking about a moment of transition that was important in her life...and proceeds to tell the story of the birth of her son in one fell swoop. I actually preferred the lack of dramatic pauses in the production. Because Katie tells her story in such direct and unadorned terms, the rush of words makes her account that much more compelling.

An honest piece of self-exploration. Shows you the power of radio to tell an intimate, personal story that rings true. Simple production - one voice but Blunt Youth Radio is to be commended for providing an opportunity to the youth in this juvenile facility the tools to create some meaning and expression from a sad set of circumstances. There are a some technical problems at the end so it would need to be edited or faded out. This would be a good follow-up for any news magazine that might feature a juvenile crime or detention story. Access to these facilities is hard to get and every state has enough to make this a universal experience for any local station....Dmae
