| The _NPR_ podcast shown in the visualization was compressed to 128 kilobits per second, while the song "Old Town Road", retrieved from Spotify, was compressed to 256 kilobits per second. | |||
| This means that in the one minute timespan that both audio files played, twice as much data needed to be loaded for the song than for the podcast, which leads to the song having roughly twice as large of a carbon footprint. | |||

| The fact that the song has greater carbon emissions is not a reflection on the carbon footprint of songs versus podcasts, but rather the difference in how each provider compresses its audio. | |||

Your changes look good Aishwarya!
I did have a comment on the sentence before your edits though (the one that begins with "The NPR podcast..."). Should we explain what compressing to X kilobits per second means? It sounds a bit jargony.

Mostly clarifying that emission differences are not a result of type of audio/video but rather differences in compression + visual composition
