Review of Katrina, Race, and High School

Impressive work from Blunt Youth Radio producer.

Lauritano-Werner begins a dialogue at her high school that I felt could have gone deeper and longer. That's good -- I wanted more.

Good use of sound -- sound bites were decent quality. Her writing and delivery was crisp and accessible.

I did want to hear more from her friends whom she referenced instead of just one voice. And I would have wanted to know what motivated producer to do this piece. Was it an assignment or purely out of interest?

This producer will go far if given the opportunity.
