Favorite Audio Piece-- Girls in Need of a Safer Time

This piece is interesting to me on many levels. The hypocrisy of a woman producing a show such as Clued In should be a journalistic and humanistic fallacy. The emotion that Ira Glass calmly gets Robin Epstein to unlock is quietly tragic. You can hear the edges of her voice starting to break and it's by her own omission she admits to being jaded after her experience with the show. The intertwining of clips from the show and soundbites with Robin makes this piece engaging; I remained attentive because of the changes.
