Which radio program did you choose? Describe the experience of listening to this program. Did you find it difficult to pay attention or get into the story? What noise/distractions made listening to the story more difficult?

Were you multitasking while you listened to the story? Did completing an activity while you listened (as opposed to just sitting still and listening) make it more or less difficult to pay attention? Do the participants in this program use slang or ambiguous language?
