Dynamic youth produced story

This piece is dynamic and informative. The voicing is enthusiastic and interesting because there is such a variety in voices and accents. My only critique is thinking about being authentic when scripting and voicing radio stories. This piece sounds like it is geared towards children. To widen the audience, the readers would simply need to talk in a more conversational tone. I enjoyed the sound bites of music and the topic of the story.

Intro and Outro

INTRO:

It's an issue that effects us all, on every: climate change. Kids from Europe and America have decided to fight together against global warming. Here is the first transatlantic radio show produced by children and youth from the US and Germany!

OUTRO:

Thanks to PRX and to our young transatlantic presenters Kennedy, Chance, Anna and Tashin!
