Review of Lady Presidents

Producer Amber Cortes does an admirable job of weaving together stories about the first ten women to run for U.S. President. It's a great piece of history, with narrator Christy Gast doing a fine job of reading excerpts from each of the histories. A music bed of varied and historic patriotic music runs throughout, and generally adds to the piece. Despite some occasional jarring edits and level changes, I think the piece hangs together well and is enjoyable to listen to. It's light hearted rather than overly serious, and contains a great deal of well-presented interesting historical information. Technical glitches are mainly related to a difference in sound and pacing from pieces that are edited together. I look forward to hearing more from this producer, with an eye towards improving the technical quality of her pieces.
