BBC Talking America Bus is an amazing programme. I just love it.
It crabs my attention mainly because I can hear America's real voice, what are their opinions about the presidential election, how do they react with the financial crisis, it brings listeners the real picture of American situation.
I also enjoy the special approach of story telling – contrast and comparing; producer use a wide arrange of treatments (location recording, background music fade in or fade out etc).
For example, when talking about one of the American state suffered seriously during the economic downturn, the feature starts with a group of pupils playing veteran's song which was quite engaging, and then introduced some Americans were questioning their life value (always seeking for money). And I was thinking the story will end up here.
Surprisingly, the story turns to another side – the real situation is about money – then it talked about business and politics in this state, involved local person's conversation with BBC journalist.
I want to suggest the programme should interview more young Americans, such as college students. They're the future of United State, they're the people four years later working in different professions. The BBC should get them involved!!
