This commentary is really fast-moving. It almost sounds like it's sped up. But the speaker is clear enough.
This puts together a nice, brief overview of outsourcing that entertains as it feeds its opinion. I'm sure there are other perspectives on the comparative value of outsourcing - particularly from employers and their employed - but the skeptical take this puts forth is nicely built and comes to a funny, if sad, conclusion.
This would be a nice little piece to add to a show about outsourcing, particularly if stuck in between a reported piece and an interview.
Loved this for it's content and delivery, would make for a great weekly feature. Reminds me of 'Dr. Science' with a social bent. The rapid fire pacing would make for a great contrast against some of the more meditative content normally associated with Public Radio. Off to listen to more pieces.
I found the speaker soooooo incredibly fast that I had to listen 3 times to grasp what was being said, and I felt all breathless and anxious at the end of it. That being said once I did understand what was going on valid points were made, often humorously, and as outsourcing is the word of the day these days this commentary could be aired during ME or ATC.
