Review of Fashion Obsession

Pretty much everything that radio rookies does is excellent. But this piece in particular got my attention because the producer, Shakima, is a radio natural. Her narration is playful and engaging - a joy to listen to. This is a fun, light-hearted, personal investigation of the economic toll of clothing addiction and the social pressure to keep up appearances. I could hear it working in a feature-y show or towards the bottom of a news program. Great for Fashion Week.
