"Vox Pop," Latin for voice of the people, is a really interesting structure for radio. The producer presents a question: What are you thankful and not thankful for and plays short clips of responses with little narration. This piece was interesting because you can tell that the speakers are from different ethnic backgrounds, but everyone gives similar answers. They are all thankful for family, life, and love.
My only gripe with this piece is that I wish the producer included more "not thankful" clips. They were hilarious - "Math, I hate math!"
