Funny, fast-paced
The sound effects and the fast pace of this feature immediately drew me in and kept me listening. Alexandros broaches some real questions that people who call themselves "green" should ask themselves, but does it in a funny and distinctly youth-radio way. More time spent on each question would have led to a more provocative and in-depth feature, but this approach is good because of the quick pace and the light tone. The piece me feel bad about everything I'm not doing to help the environment. It made me laugh as well. This must have required a lot of minute edits, and Alexandros does a good job there, too. It's professional-sounding and fun to listen to.
