Review of Why I Crew

Alex Foster's "Why I Crew" is a beautifully constructed audio piece. The acoustic music choice that ties the beginning to the end sets a peaceful mood for the entire piece. In addition, Alex Foster's soft voice really adds to the overall audio.

Being someone who has dedicated a lot of time to swimteam, I completely understand the perspective from which Alex is coming from. Alex's insight into how challenging yourself can lead to the appreciation of other things is profound and astute.

My only suggestion would be to edit in more space inbetween Alex Foster's narration to allow more time for the listener to digest what he/she just heard.
