Should I Stay or Should I Go (To the Prom)

Blunt Youth Radio Project , 05:19

***** Amusing, Engaging, Quirky

Should I Stay or Should I Go is a great feature for any prom show. I really loved this piece for it's portrayal of a huge high school dilemma: Should I even go to prom? Whether or not to even attend prom is a common problem in high school that is really underplayed in movies which tend to assume everyone goes to prom. DBC goes about his decision with a very scientific method getting as much input as possible some of which includes surveys, phone interviews and the all important motherly advice. In the end he concludes that "he'd be a fool not to attend" the last high school hoorah. My only issue with this feature lay in the use of "Stairway to Heaven" in the intro and outro which seemed like it didn?t fit the prom theme. Other than that I thought it was really well produced and covered the topic completely (even touching on cost of prom).
You'd be a fool not to give this piece a listen!

Should I Stay or Should I Go (To the Prom)

It's considered by many to be a rite of passage, but Blunt reporter David Barber-Callaghan isn't sure whether he wants to go to his senior prom. In search of advice he turns to his classmates, past graduates, and his own mother.
