This piece has lots of the elements that, together, can make a great piece. If the adult Miles had been more reflective, had been spurred in the interview to reveal something more about himself or how the world has changed, and then the audio Miles recorded as a child (which, by the way, is very sweet, funny, and of surprisingly good sound quality) served as an accent to move the story forward, I could hear this piece in a This American Life-style format. As is, it's an engaging short piece that makes well-timed and humorous use of music, and is well mixed (at least, from what I could hear on my laptop speakers).
