Great audio slideshow: Hot Coffee, Mississippi

My wife and I traveled to Mississippi earlier this month.  It was only after we got back that we thought to use Google Earth* to find stories and photos about the places we were visiting.  While we didn't go through the town of Hot Coffee, Mississippi, this National Geographic audio slideshow made us feel like we'd been there.

I love the use of voice in this simple presentation.  The journalists here could have poked fun at a city with a funny name (it is indeed ironic that there's no good coffee to be found in Hot Coffee), but instead they found that there's so much else that makes this place special and surprising.

*Note: when I say "use Google Earth", I mean turning on the layers for the New York Times and National Geographic content.  Stories show up based on where in the world they originated.  Find more information on CNET and Google's official blog.
