I enjoyed the radio version of the story more than the print. It was much more descriptive and very easy to understand. Not only is hearing easier and requires less effort, but it has greater potential to emotionally touch others. Unlike the print version, the radio version contained music and other sound effects which made it more dramatic and entertaining. Also, although there was dialogue in both of the articles, the radio version was entirely dialogue, which in my opinion made it more interesting. The recording of Emily in the radio version made it increasingly more successful in conveying the story than the print article. 
Through hearing, stories can often be more effectively told and described (regarding articles and other shorter pieces). It is much easier to become distracted when reading something than hearing it, even if the words being shared were of the exact same content. Just like music, I find that messages retrieved through your ears will be processed better and most likely be remembered better than those which are written. This of course is very dependent on what exactly you are listening to or reading, and what type of person you are. I personally am very stubborn when it comes to reading, so listening to stories is much more appealing and easier for me. I better understand the story and often make more connections.
