This profile of Juan Medrano is produced by a peer at Carlton College. It gives a snapshot of how Medrano, who's from the Dominican Republic, has adapted to living in this country and attending college. Because dance is important to Medrano, the student producer inserts music to give the profile some flavor. The mix at the beginning is problematic because the audio levels are off-- it’s hard to understand Medrano’s comments. There are some good attempts to enliven the piece with Medrano’s dance instructions and also by inserting a version of “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” when Medrano is speaking of besting his competition in dancing, but again, more attention should be made to the mix. The piece needs a strong ending and technically it is abrupt. This profile may appeal to college students and college radio stations
