"Wow" is all I can say. You did an excellent job on this piece. The flow of the story was amazing, I felt myself traveling with you to all the various places throughout your day. You have a powerful narrative style. Though this is a reflection, as a little background, it would have been good if you told us why you sought to visit Dr. West at his lecture in the beginning of the story (I understand by the end). It would keep the listener’s interest seeing as how this is a long piece. They might think, “Oh yea, I gotta hear more of this story!” A few parts in the beginning car sequence were confusing, but it didn't distract me from understanding the story. Of course I was enthralled with what Dr. West had to say. For a mainstream radio story, there are some parts you could cut out to get straight to the point. Some listeners aren’t very patient. In conclusion, great levels, great tape, great, great, great!
