Review of Exploring Hidden River Cave with Peggy Nims

By way of disclosure I should say that I've worked for the Public Radio Partnership.
This would be an excellent piece to drop into ATC or any magazine format show that deals with people telling their stories or the environment. The piece has the real feel of taking the listener on a journey. The piece also vividly captures the sounds of the cave and effectively uses music to enhance, but not overwhelm, the story.
Most importantly though, the story's main voice, caver Peggy Nims, is engaging, funny and insightful. This is the kind of piece that makes you remember why radio story telling can be so cool.
