It's all in the details
This piece is successful at sucking the listener into the plot. This is achieved through the use of sound effects, dialogue and description.
The main critique I can offer for this piece is to work with the script and strive to sound a bit more spontainious and relaxed while recording.
While the storyline is cute and interesting,the overall the focus is somewhat scattered and the emphasis on sustainable food is introduced very late into the story.
I really enjoyed hearing the overlapping sound near the end although sometimes it is good to make sure what is being said is showing rather than telling about what happened and not repeated the same ideas.
Beautiful music, great sound effects, and interesting use of outside materials(like the cuts to previous interviews).
