Review of A Century of Heroes: Week Five

These 90 second pieces give us a glimpse into the heroics of otherwise ordinary people. It inspires the listeners to learn how the people profiled made a difference in helping or saving others' lives. It could happen to us. The writing is clear, with a good narrative element. I would prefer to hear related information (about the Hero Fund) only at the end. This would allow the story to be told without interruption.
In terms of airing the piece, I would need a local or timely hook. I hope the Carnegie Hero Fund contacts stations when a local hero is profiled.
