Review of After 23: Conversations on Direction

This sound montage lets people in their early 20s tell listeners about life after college. It's definitely intriguing and outside the usual public radio sound. It needs a bit of touching up to make it air friendly, but it's worth putting into a showcase slot and would probably do best on a weeknight evening or on a weekend afternoon or evening.
The sound montage definitely grabs the ear and the use of sound is just as important as what the students are saying. We've all heard and experienced life in our early 20s, so this piece let's us hear the views of the young people in an artful way. It's also interesting to hear what phrases and words are mixed and repeated.
It's good that this type of radio is produced. It helps explore new ways of storytelling outside the usual framework. Nice job Carlin.
