Review of Obesity
Adrian Boyes

Obesity starts out with Jennifer Rowe (the narrator and producer) running on a treadmill, giving her voice a panted, jolted sound, I love the piece already! Starting with such an unusual intro makes the rest of the piece a joy to listen to. The commentary takes a huge issue that is sweeping America and turns the concern of obesity into a personal matter between Jennifer and her friends. Jennifer combines short, interesting, personal, interviews with facts that apply to the whole country. Her sense of humor about obesity mixed with some quite frightening facts adds to a nice mix of feelings from the listener about obesity.
