Review of Saving Endangered Foods
I felt that this piece was informative, interesting, and well produced. I listened to this because of my interest in organic foods, as well as my interest in short form broadcasts. I hope that program directors will play these short pieces regularly, to enhance the public's knowledge of organic and farming issues.
