It’s an enjoyable piece that has a very interesting plot. The music makes the interviews very fun and the interviewees themselves are very convincing. By including interviews the story takes a much more interesting direction and I felt attached to the hero, the whale. The story is told so it seems possible and is a great break from regular news. The idea, plot, and music are creative making the story fit together very nicely to make a great piece.
This is a very unusual and humorous piece. The concept straddles the line between believable and unbelievable. This straddling kept me listening; i wanted to know where the story was going to go next. Also, the interviews well well placed and well conceived.
The two strongest points for this piece are originality and thread of narrative. I liked how the writer "lead" me from the initial discovery through to the eventual understanding of the chain of events. Since this is fiction, the writer had to work that much harder.
