Review of The Boyz Meet Jerry Brown

Students Julio and David let us peak or listen to what happens behind the curtain when radio is being made. They tape a conversation between themselves as they wait to interview Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown. They are totally open with the listeners that they have never heard of Jerry Brown, his political offices OR the fact that he is running for Attorney General of California.
They weren't even sure what an AG does. So the young men ask Brown pointed questions they feel many people want to know the answers to - about gangs, illegal immigrants (one boy admits he's an illegal) and the importance of the law.
They keep the tape rolling when they go get something to eat afterwards- interviewing customers about the shape the world is in. AND they wrap it all up with lessons learned. Keep rolling tape guys, you do good work!
