PTSD & well produced radio programming - (20 min. Must hear)

Heard this powerful story a month ago on the radio outside of St. Louis. The author/interviewer (Kotlowitz) did a clever, though simple thing here, by wondering if the effect of urban violence was comparable to the trauma that a person experiences from war. Kotlowitz talks to a military vet from Afghanistan and a guy from Philadelphia who’s lived in some pretty bad neighborhoods to find out if they are doubles of some sort.  It is well mixed and edited.  Starts at minute 33:30.  You WILL be hooked if you start this 25 min story.  Teachers, this is an excellent prompt on POLICY and SOCIETY effect on young modern human men (i.e. how are these two kids doubles and how are the NOT).

Brandon & Curtis ARE doubles...up to a point.  Please comment.
