Youth Editorial Board Review of "Beautiful, Painful Truth"

This is an intriguing story about one man’s quest to find his own sexuality. I had never heard a story like this one before, and I was truly captivated by it, and all of the things that the man had to say. Technically speaking, though, this piece was well put together. The music chosen was very fitting, particularly at the end when the confusion had passed and all was well. She really captured a lot of the emotions in the story with the music. The sound quality is also very rich. It’s easy to hear what the man is saying, and the way he tells the story is magnificent. His voice is very expressive, which holds your attention. The editor’s narration is also done very efficiently. It moves the piece into scenes, when necessary.
Overall, I really appreciated this piece mostly for the story it told. It is something I wouldn’t think about, really, and it’s nice to hear a good happy ending. Also that the man reflects so much on his first marriage, and that he really recognizes how much it taught him, I think it makes this radio piece wonderful.
