Interesting (but not new) idea of introducing a regular program with a lot of intriguing sounds and bits of interview cuts. I found the change of pace somewhat confusing. The producer knows what he want to do and achieves it,but he seems to be trying a little too hard to be witty.
The show is about children and young adult's literature. The audience?
Good interview with authors. Overall nice pace. Informative and at times fun.
This piece reflects a nice "letter to my mom" feeling. To assuage his mother's concerns "I worry, are you happy?" the producer literally takes his mother on an audio trip of his neighborhood and the people he meets there. Good idea, and great affection. The stories the people tell are more compelling than the connecting narrative. The voices make the piece compelling, but the idea is not quite resolved. Still a nice addition to a Mother's day programming. At 10:41 a bit long for most stations to use.
