KBIA Post - Jennifer Elston

The KBIA story on Adderall was my favorite of the three stories posted to the spring schedule for this course.  The beginning sounded very professional, grabbed my attention, and set a good tone for the piece.  Overall, the editing was very smooth, with only minor scratchiness.  This story is very relevant to our school.  I know many people who have taken their Adderall to help with finals or huge essays.  The narrator had a good variety of sources, used a conversational, yet refined tone, and used the subject-verb-object format that sounds best on the radio.  I feel that this piece was very well thought out.  It seems as if he had a strict script which he abided to had good numbers and outside information and facts.  The Adderall piece had less natural sound than the Neuticles piece, but I was drawn to the piece on medication, probably because it is so relatable.  The Neuticles piece felt like a story that the people who made the product had recorded, while the Adderall piece was more directed at raising awareness.
