That's a fantastic piece--thoughtful interviews and a nice audio adventure on the streets of DC. I've been a following Addi and Charlie's website for several years, and I thought Scott captured them really well.
The interviews are good, giving good background about how these two partnered to travel the world making these unbelievable baloon hats. Addi's story his story about realizing that the hats were making rich and poor laugh and smile in the same way is really nice. The ambient adventure on the streets of DC gives great mental images--affluent georgetown residents get nervous and 'inner-city' Southeast DC residents really connect with these guys.
By the time you hear the sounds of balloons being twisted and folks really reacting, you're ears are longing for it, and they're not disappointed.
It's maybe still hard to imagine these fantastic hats, but that's okay because these guys have hundreds of the amazing colorful photographs that your station could likely use on its website when curious listeners come looking. It's an outdoorsy piece that could be a really nice Summer feature.
