I listened to Pool Party by David Lepelstat, trying to focus on sound more than story was very odd to me, but one thing I had noticed was about his voice, he had a lisp and I could tell that he was nervous while presenting this story but he still presented incredibly well.

Within the narrative structure of this story, there was a lot of making very specific claims and then explaining them, for example he opened with who he was in life was determined by what phase he was going through, then explained how that could either be a hot wheels, superhero or power ranger phase. One thing about the structure that I really enjoyed was the ending, I love how he pulled in the ending about his uncle michael, and how he had explained at the beginning he did not understand the concept of his uncle having a “partner” but how he grew to love and respect michael, and always be so grateful of how he saved his life.

I also enjoyed the structure of the beginning, how he began the story by pulling you in with this incredible description of this vacation and concept of a pool party, and also continuously alluded to his attempt to run across water like the flash.
