Based on the information that I read about as well as the podcast I listened to I strongly feel as though The Radiolab’s podcast seemed offensive and presented to it’s guests Kao Kalia Yang and Eng Yang . The interviewer began to sound as if he is trying to convince them that they were wrong and that they should believe the scientist. The actions of the interviewer were executed poorly. This was primarily due to the fact that he should have stated facts from both sides. At the same time the interviewer should of asked more questions to both sides of the party in order to gather further intel and information.

The interviewer stated that both  Eng Yang and Kao Kalia Yang were trying to control the conversation topic but based primarily on how I was interpreting the podcast I found it to be more likely that they want the whole story heard of what her uncle and his people suffered through. So lack of exposition by the interviewer led to only the presentation of one side to the story. Reporters did a poor job of getting to the “truth of the story”. It was a missed opportunity to report fair and balanced news. Reporters and interviewers also began to take sides and position themselves with the expert scientists. Instead they should have sided and gathered valuableintell from witnesses that were able to see the account of the yellow rain.  Interviewers ended up doing the complete opposite of what reporting is supposed to do. Each side of the story should be heard.
