What an personal story! This piece really made me think about my relationships. In my opinion, a good audio piece engages the listener, this piece couldn't have done that any better. I appreciate your courage in sharing this piece. This piece really does show the true generational effect. I personally have trouble telling a personal story without being shy, you did an awesome job! The best part of listening to this feature was being able to picture how the story rolls out, you put me in your mindset. Your interviews were great and I really enjoyed the different perspectives.
