The Mozart Effect—Reality or Myth?

This podcast is about how the mozart effect is viewed by the public. The mozart effect is said to be helping the younger kids to be smarter by playing mozart music. The mozart music can stimulate the brain to let the brain develops earlier and more mature. However, there is no real evidence to show the positive effect of mozart effect. Instead, the author claims that playing music does help to provide some inspirations for some people. And she concludes that with Christina Aguilera's song saying that people can be inspirational by listening to their favorite songs. First of all, when I saw the script, I thought it was a little bit too long. And lots of professional terms are used in the script. When I went ahead to listen to the podcast, I found that it is a little boring. The podcast was lengthy, but there are only 3 segments of songs are used to divide the script up. I think the podcast may not be as interesting as the previous sample podcast. Another reason I do not have a great interest towards this topic is the similar topic with the reader. There is a piece of reading in reader discusses about the mozart effect in public's minds. So it seems the podcast is repetitive. However, I like how the author uses lots of resources to back up her claims to make it more convincing due to the scientific discussion. And I like the tone of the author because she makes the professional and formal topic into a more casual and understandable topic.
