Review of Bi Chic

i enjoyed this piece greatly, I thought it pointed out a real issue, there really are girls who claim bi-sexuality only to tempt the incompadant male and any radio journalist that can denounce the media and exploite the TRUTH has my vote!

Review of Bi Chic

Celia lines up her ducks all in a row, and patiently knocks each one down. She sets up the prejudices of the queer community against bi folks, and we get to hear the process of discovery as she sees how well the rumors hold up in real life. We follow her from the queer youth community center to high school football practice, finally ending up in a conversation with a real, live, thoughtful bisexual woman.

I'll leave Celia's conclusions to be heard by her listeners, but what I like about this piece is the writing and Celia's voice. She writes clearly, and her voice sounds genuine throughout the piece. Celia takes aim not only at her own misconceptions about bisexuality, but those of her listeners as well.

Review of Bi Chic

This piece is great! A topic you don't hear enough about from a perspective you never hear. And it's done with wit and style.

It's a little long, gets repetitive, the music and some tracks are mixed too hot here and there, and it really could have used an adult perspective, but this is a terrific piece.

Review of Bi Chic

Being a heterosexual girl, I have often heard rumors of this girl now coming out as bisexual or as a lesbian, and wondered if perhaps they were just doing it for attention. But then again, as the interviewees in this piece showed, they were unable to come up with concrete examples, as I also have no firsthand experience. If in fact, "posing" bisexual people do exist, I understand how infuriating that might be to someone who has struggling with revealing their true identity. However, I think that it would be more positive to look at it as society, albeit slowly, becoming more accepting and tolerant of all types of sexuality.

Review of Bi Chic

Very interesting, very controversal. I liked the structure and the information presented in this piece. Luz grabbed and kept me interested the whole ten minutes with well choosen quotes and a well writen script. The football player segement was especially funny and I found Emma (the last interview) very insightful and diplomatic. The only thing that seemed to be missing was the views of straight girls, to see what they thought of about it.
