I heard this piece on XM's PRX channel and really enjoyed it. The subject matter was interesting and engaging. I particularly enjoyed the ambient sounds used to create the feel of the piece. I felt like I was standing in the heat, talking to these runners. A good short piece like this grabs the listener, makes them pay attention, and keeps them interested, while transporting them to a time and place of the narrators choosing. This piece does just that. Thank you for some really great work!
