Neuticles

I listened to the Neuticles story and thought it was a good example of a story meant for entertainment. It's a bizarre subject and the reporter approached it from that direction and kept the piece light-hearted. He interviewed veterinarians to get scientific perspectives, perspectives that confirmed the absurdity of the product. Justin Ray made good use of ambient sounds of dogs throughout the piece, and he was clever with is language, using "bones" instead of "dollars." Although it is subtle, he says his last sentence with a little laugh, which I think is appropriate for the piece and its tone.
