In “real life” 30 seconds per story would be about right, but probably wouldn’t include interviews. You read a bit fast.
E-Cigs: Use a throwaway lead to first get the listener’s attention: There’s more bad news for e-cigarette companies… Then the real lead.
Rachel Spier attribution is fine, but why not a recorded quote? At least it’s short. With this style it can be difficult for a listener to follow long quotes that are being read.
Bowling: The transition works as your throwaway lead.
Emily Cruze quote.
Transition
Finals Week: Again, get the listeners’ attention. Could have been done with the transition: Finals week is approaching. Then the line about finals and stress.
This style of story is common, but usually includes more than one source.
