Great short story on a piece of clothing we see so often in urban communities but rarely stop to think of its significance. This piece is engaging, sound rich, and one of those stories that makes you sit and think about the topic after listening. Because RIP shirts are common around the country and in the media, I think it would be engaging for a national audience.
This is a shorter piece on an under-explored topic: RIP shirts. It briefly explores many sides of the phenomenon: commercial, personal and socio-economic. It includes interviews with people who often go unheard.
Depending on where I am in the Bay Area, people around me either own a few RIP shirts, or they have never seen one. Thanks for bringing this subject to media and exposing part of what it is to live and die in America's violent neighborhoods.
