Diamond in the rough
I enjoyed this slideshow. The pictures matched up well with the audio, and I think the reporter did a good job of mixing the natural sound with the narration of the main character. I think it worked well to give a little bit more information on the slides instead of saying those facts.
I think it could have been improved by giving a little more information about the coach. I was left wondering why he wakes up at 4am in his car: is he homeless? Where is the family he mentions? Overall, though, I enjoyed this.


A Hendrix experience
This slideshow was very well done. The subject of the story of course provided a lot of good sound since he played guitar, so that worked out well. There were a lot of interesting camera angles as well, which kept it entertaining. I enjoyed seeing all the different outfits that he would wear when playing.

Crabbing with the Hoopers
I think this story did a great job of using natural sound. It started and ended with the sound of running water, which is very appropriate for the story. The pictures, narration, and natural sound all matched up very well. one example of this is when Mark Hooper mentioned the dog and there was a picture of the dog and the sound of the dog whining. It just all flowed very nicely.

Service with Attitude
This was a good story. The subject of the story was very interesting, which made it him fun to listen to. The pictures did a nice job of showing the waiter in his natural environment, with customers, etc. I enjoyed the conversations between him and his customers as well. It was a good way to hear what actually went on at the Pantry instead of a reporter just trying to narrate things.
