Review of Nick: Home School to High School

This is the first radio diary I've ever heard and it's blown me away. The story of adolesence, of the sense of not belonging, of searching and questioning and the exploration of boundaries and reaching out and finally finding and getting a grasp on the sense of it all. You can almost hear the hiss of fears evaporating as the metamorphosis takes place. Great use of music and rhythm to convey the change.
