I think there were supposed to be two stories in here, but I didn't even find one. It just wandered in and out of interviews and voice overs, and the writing was flat and did not illuminate the subject.
Technical notes: The intro startled me, transitions between interviews and voice overs were a bit blunt, and the music (while in places it did add some character) distracted me most of the time.
For future VoxPod pieces I think I would like to see more of a story. Conflict! Resolution! We should take something away from a story, we should feel changed.
I see the potential here.

Review of VoxPod #7 - The Lure of Gnomes and Homes
I'm afraid I just don't get this piece.
