Review of MetroNaps

This piece makes great use of narration, music, ambience and sound to transport the listener, along with a homeless person from Boston, to an executive sleeping pod in New York City. I thought the feature was engaging and humorous in a lightly satirical way. The writing is tight, the actualities are captivating, and the mix is superb. Producer Chelsea Merz makes great use of sound and the piece is extremely well produced. I listened to it several times and enjoyed it more each time. Sleep apnea is a big topic these days, and National Sleep Awareness Week is March 27th. This feature would fit well into any magazine program or documentary on the subject, and I highly recommend it.
