I was drawn to this piece because of its description, which read, “What is spirituality?” I was expecting a piece comparing and contrasting different people's views of spirituality, possibly highlighting outlooks different than the traditional views represented by Christians. The piece, which focused on the store Rainbow-Earth, lacked development. I thought it was interesting, but it was only a single outlook on spirituality. Pair the interview of the Rainbow-Earth's owner with other interviews. Also, do not let the quotes dominate the radio piece. There were a couple short transition sentences, but the narrator was largely absent throughout the piece. Add in discussion about the interview, directing listeners to the point of the piece.
