Reviews of this program on PRX (Public Radio Exchange):

Reviewer: Michael Johnson, Producer, Trainer, San Francisco, CA
As usual Making Contact delivers another quality program with this moving installment on artists and their comtribution to the restoration of devastated New Orleans. In this radio journey, a pile of rocks, a lone tree, a cyclone fence. and more ordinary objects are all changed by a group of artists who interact with the N.O. residents and together a mutuak trust, and healing takes route.
This half hour would go well on a Sunday afternoon before WEATC or on a weekday evening, post drivetime.
Rating: 5/5
