These are probably great stories,
but I didn’t make it through a whole episode so I don’t know. The narrator just doesn’t fit the genre and has a very flat delivery. Each sentence sounds exactly the same with no variation in inflection or cadence. Storytelling should sound natural and conversational so you become too absorbed in the story to be aware of the narrator. In this case, you can’t get past the narrator enough to listen to the story.
I was listening to the show….and I thought I was listening to Unexplained. I’ve been a fan of Unexplained for a long time….I’m listening to Nautical Mysteries episode right now and it could be Richard Maclaine….Smith. It’s just sad that this show, with its huge budget company, would rip off another podcaster to that degree. Seriously, listen for yourselves. You’ll hear it.
Love all the Ballen Studios podcasts, you can listen nonstop and never get bored. I’m completely addicted to every single one of them!
This voice sounds like terrible AI. Love Mr Ballen but I just couldn’t get through even one episode of Bedtime Stories.
I love the stories but the narrator irritates my eardrums.
