One Thing ...

This brief news show is not a pitch for a "new" program, blatantly ripping off an existing one. I just chose this format because I thought I would have fun using it to try to demonstrate by writing and presentation skills. Enjoy!

I like the way it appeared at first that the report was going to be serious, and then it quickly became a funny "commentary" on the No Child Left Behind Act. Good job!

I have often wondered why such a reactionary law has such a pinko-liberal name. Now I know.

Quite amusing. I'd definitely like to hear more from this guy.

Great job.

Very funny - a new angle on a topic that's gotten lots of jokes made about it before. Knowing who wrote this, I'm not surprised it's good.

As someone who has too infrequent but nonetheless 'in person' access to Steve's quick wit and funny parody, I say "great job, and keep going". A Steve-minute on the radio, public or otherwise, would provide a much needed laugh track to an ironic and often ridiculous political landscape.

Thanks, Steve. Rory Cohen

I meant to say "demonstrate my writing and presentation skills," of course, not "demonstrate by writing and presentation skills." This is one of the more ironic typos I can recall making lately. Oh well, I presume most people would know what I meant or not even have noticed.

Thanks to all of you who've taken the time to listen, vote and comment. It is much appreciated!

I enjoyed this entry quite a lot. Good pacing, articulation and emphasis.

Talk six inches away from the mic, across the mic, and get a pop filter to avoid popping plosives. (Sorry, occupational hazard--I teach radio and television production in a Communication Studies Department)

The professionalism exhibited in the broadcast precludes anything accomplished by so-called professional radio announcers. ABC NightLine is waiting for SteveCow.

You could go on for a long time on the sports thing. Great job.

I meant to post a comment on someone else's entry but it ended up here by mistake. The web site let me edit it but not delete it so that's why you're wasting your time reading this right now. Sorry!

Ultimately the paradoxes of life make fools of us all. So if we would be wise we should study life's paradoxes and confront our abject foolishness head on.
