Review of What Makes Us Popular

This witty piece gives insight to one school's standards of "popularity." The structure of the podcast was solid: questions posed in the beginning and answered in the second half of the piece. The background music was not distracting, but could have been varied a bit throughout the piece. I enjoyed this social commentary on popularity, as it is something that everyone in high school always wonders but never receives an answer to, and this piece shared one school's views on popularity. The interviewers also did a good job getting a variety of voices for this piece; it would have been easy to go talk to two or three friends, but they went the extra mile and got many people, and the quality and diversity was noticed--and appreciated--as a listener.
