KBIA Story: Adderall

The KBIA story about Adderall has a fantastic lead. The narrator's laundry list of work spoken at an accelerated rate of speed not only speaks to the subject of the story, but it gives listeners an idea of what the affects of the drug Adderall are. It is a very interesting piece because it talks about a subject that many people within the college culture are aware of, but does not get enough recognition from outsiders. I was surprised that Adderall users were so willing to talk about the drug and their experiences on tape, but since it is illegal, I was not at all surprised that they wanted to remain anonymous. I also liked that the journalist got an interview with a doctor because many college students think that Adderall is a miracle drug, without realizing the side effects or consequences. This story gave a balanced perspective on the subject, and was interesting all at the same time.
