Review

This is a very good subject all together. The research and idea of this piece is interesting, because it's something every person does based off of their thoughts, not facts. This piece also has research, and real life examples to back up the facts. Everybody drinks water, so it makes this piece relatable. The producer could have added more facts, such as stating how much energy's used to make water bottles, compared to how much energy to drink tap water. If there was more excitement, or emotions in this piece it would be excellent. It's a little dull to listen to, because the lack of emotion. Overall, this piece catches your attention, and is good.

Review of "A New Way To Drink Water: From a Cup!"

The research for "A New Way To Drink Water: From a Cup!" seems very well done. However, the narrator needs to read a bit more smoothly so as not to sound robotic. I like the fact that he mentions the blind tasting in order to prove his point that bottled water is not better tasting than tap water. The producer should slow down and bring up the levels at the end. This piece would likely be heard in a longer program about tap vs. bottled water.
