Review of The Well-Rounded Radio Interview with Múm

As a Program Director of a large network I would have a hard time placing this program on the air. I also don’t think it would fit on a more adventuresome music stream aimed at 20-30 year olds. I applaud the effort to present new and varied music to listeners and he’s obvious the host is a big fan of Mum. I can tell he put a lot of effort into the interview and its production. That said, to me it sounded a tad crunchy, the music fought with the narrative and the narrative itself was rather ready. I listened to about 10 minutes of the program and knew I had heard enough. I am not in the demographic that this program is aimed at and neither are the present audiences that I program to. So I’m basing this review more on a personal reaction to the piece and the production approach that I’m most familiar with.
