Review of The Reindeer People

"We were all once nomads." What a great opening line! It's like saying, "listen up, this is about all of us!". We are immediately transported to the world and lives of these amazing people.
The writing is clear and descriptive, the story fantastic yet grounded. The piece is nicely mixed. I loved the singing.
While I did air the story close to Christmas, this piece about old world people addressing modern problems is airable any time of the year.
