Yes, the back-and-forth can be priceless.  Off-the-cuff programmer humor,
true emotions, like you say, "sportscast style".   It's so much more
laid-back, you know, because there's already two people carrying-on a
casual conversation about the material, so it's easier for students to
speak-up and participate in that context.   Mucho potencial!
