Review of Confessions of Teen Stripper

I would put this on our air, mainly because it's a very particular first-person perspective we don't hear from much. Yes, as other reviewers said, it has some flaws on the radiophonic scale, but if we were doing a call-in show, for instance, on the sex industry with journalists and social workers, this piece would bring it home. The context would be key, but a good programmer could make the right nest for this, by preparing the listener. I would be appreciative to a public radio station that included this perspective, even thought it might not be as well developed as it could be.
