"Radio Rookies: 'Flushing' and "St. George' Stories"

These stories — crisply written and tightly produced — give adults one of the best views of life through a young person’s eyes since Peanuts’ Charlie Brown. Clever, brash and irreverent, the simple truths emerge from the scripts and authentic sounds. From life in the inner city to parent/teen relationships to an extraordinary perspective on the stress of 9/11, these stories stood above the rest. We can only hope that these young people stay in the field. Praise also for the producers who worked with them.
