I loved this piece. It was very personable in the narration and fun to hear. I enjoyed your small side comments, it added a great deal of commical personality! the final song is rather fabulous as well!
The title is what hooked me in, I mean who wouldn’t want to listen to a piece called Alaska Fashion Crisis. This tells the story of two teenagers with very different views of what fashion should be. Personally I must agree with Sara Perman who, like me, sacrifices comfort for fashion. Michael Eddy represents the other side of the spectrum, the comfortable and yet side practical of fashion. They go on to interview teenagers at the Baltimore and D.C. Youth Radio Conferences about what they are wearing, and compare it to themselves. The conclusion of the piece ends with a very random and yet funny punk rock song, which I'm not really sure fit in with the piece.
This was so fun to listen to! I really like the format of the story--an ongoing dialogue between two reporters with great radio voices who have great chemistry. I felt like I was a friend in a nice little convo.
I must say, the sound is extremely crisp! The story was virtually perfect, but I was confused about one thing. How exactly does the Alaskan fashion/style contrast with what we have here "down south?"
I know Michael was supposed to be an example, being "different," but I didn't understand if he was supposed to be representing Alaskan style.

Nice musical choice for the outro. Sweet!
