This short piece is very neat. Anyway, I was hoping that the answer to the title would be 'yes' since I drink green tea occasionally. However. it turns out this piece is about the steps a librarian takes to research the question. The static references she has are inadequate, so she ends up searching research papers. Very nice. I would expect this show to be underrated generally, but it is something that many people should hear, especially because it shows the librarian consulting numerous resources. This in itself is useful for educating people about the research process, in my opinion.
Well produced and informative. Good music. What a great idea for a series: talk to librarians -- such great resources... so under-appreciated. Not only interesting for its answer to the question posed in its title, but useful for its citation of medically-respected resources that any listener can tap into. Could be shortened a little as the search for the green tea answer drags a bit, but a nice consumer-oriented piece.
I think this is great idea for a regular series. Librarians are underrated and perhaps the smartest people around. They can find an answer for any question and more efficiently than google. I love the opening music and Jackson Braider is a great host/narrator. The original description says though that it's a series of 3:30 pieces and I think that time would be better. This piece could be shortened a bit. Also, the mix between the narrator's voice and that of the librarian could be leveled out more. She sounded too much in the background. Still, this is a great module that could be aired as a stand alone piece or within a magazine show. I do think that there should be a version without the music and the SOQ out at the end rather than at the intro at the beginning. This would give the series more flexibility to be aired within magazines. I hope to hear more of these piece...
