Review of My Future Self, Age 30

This is a fresh sounding piece - Maia has an engaging earnestness in her voice as she "acts" her part. Great use of music for punctuation (Death Cab for Cutie. I really enjoyed the "overheard phone conversation" technique and the candid quality of the exchanges. It's an interesting premise - speculating ahead 12 years to what you imagine your life might be like. It would be great to check in on Maia when she does hit 30 and find out what she's up to - and whether it/she has exceeded her own expectations.
