This is a worthy subject with a worthy interviewee done by an openly partisan interviewer. This is not a problem as the listener fairly quickly knows what time it is. What is a problem is the unforgivably poor technical quality of the piece. The interviewer is in the proverbial echoey room while Suheir Hammad sounds like a phoner being recorded from an open mic picking up audio in the same echoey room. It literally hurts to listen. My advice to the producer is to see if he can rerecord the audio through a board and lose the reverb. I promise to rereview.

A missed opportunity.....
