Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston with Kennedy’s Thailand Fail

What’s the length of a good break?  It depends on the quality of the content.  And how much drama there is in telling it.  The more conflict, tension, and drama you have, the longer the story can go.  Case in point is the story told on Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston after Kennedy came back from a vacation overseas.  Kennedy’s trip to Thailand, specifically a dinner she attended, went horribly wrong for many reasons.  Twist and turns and lots of speed bumps coupled with a self-deprecating sense of humor compel the audience to want to hear the story to conclusion.  Breaks with those elements feel shorter than they really are, if the break is structured right.  Go watch a reality show and see that they change the camera angle or scene every few seconds.  They do that to keep your attention.  Just like this break.
