Mario Manzini. Whoa.

I thought this piece struck a good balance between the narrator's voice and the subject's voice. At first, although the narration was fun and punchy, I kind of wanted to hear the subject already. But then when I heard Mario, I thought, well I know why this guy's in here sparingly: he talks so fast and with so much energy and detail, that too much of him would be kind of overwhelming. I think the narration was able to control the piece in a way that Mario's voice wouldn't have been able to.
