Review of Dog Park (Moses)

T.L. Wagner sets out to test the numbers - that only one out of 10 people who listen to public radio also contribute. So she sets off to a dog park in L.A. where she meets up with Moses. He's got many a reason for not contributing, but T.L. persists with questions and gets Moses to say he will contribute.
First its a plate of food, then with T.L.'s prompting it goes "up" to five, then six dollars. Moses also reveals an obsession with Terry Gross.
Its a fun piece that could use more dogs, maybe even more people. But not more time, so we can say "here are the numbers to call".
This approach shows what a curious producer with the desire to turn listeners into contributors can do.
DO try this at home!
