This audio piece is really unique because of the interviewee, Edward Snowden. It is a fantastic interview conducted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astro-physiscts. Tyson asks very good open ended questions to allow Snowden to give back very in depth responses. The critical examination of a particular subject of theirs, talking about communicating with aliens gives an insight to a theoretical problem that other people would not be able to elaborate on. This is a very intriguing interview by two very intelligent people.

Kingin' With Tyga- Review
The dialogue in this show is very conversational and roughly 90% unscripted. Shaping the content of discussion seems prevalent. However, most conversations are likely how they would address each other off camera as well. The dialogue is very conversational, informal and likely to invite viewers to tune it, assuming they're a Tyga fan. The particular writing involved with this show seems minimal and pretty easy. The heavily scripted areas are just trying to add more context and emphasis surrounding the events unfolding throughout the course of the show. I like this format because its a show about a character in their raw form. Also, it gives the character a chance to analyze and be critical of their actions and deliver that to the audience. The written material serves as a roadmap to their life.

This youtube series named "Top 6" is written by Ray William Johnson. Johnson does other youtube series such as "equals three" and has been writing short scripts for stuff like this since his dorm room at the University of Oklahoma in 2009. I specifically like this series because of the variety of topics he can cover. Top six is just a list of six features for a category. His host Kelly, is a fantastic on camera personality. She is very lively and adds a lot of character to the show. The writing style to this is very unique because it mimics real life examples. There is a mix between scripted dialogue and some improve. The improv is great for connecting with the host on a personal level. For instance, when she is discussing using a fake I.D, she mentioned how the bartender knew the girl in the I.D. Its ironic to me because the same situation happened to me while trying to use a fake I.D. What is questionable about this series is where they get the facts. I do not agree with their statistics about sexual partners. I really feel like the intended audience is the 20-30 year old range. Overall this series can extend to a wide range of demographics because the topics always change.
