Review of Hopeless in High School

This incredibly moving piece contains all the elements of excellent radio--a strong script, good sound quality, emotional yet natural voicing, and, of course, an engaging, thought-provoking story. I was captured by the producer's words, engaged by her honesty, and given a completely new angle on the experience of dropping out of high school. Editing for smooth voicing and perhaps adding music for variation could enrich this piece.
