- AI narrator
I loved this show up until this season.
It’s very clear that you all are using AI to narrate the story in between your work with the subjects. This really sucks.
I hope that you can find ways to actually use humans to do your stories. Until then, I am unsubscribing.

Apple Podcasts5iLwatersUnited Statesa year ago - today was my first disappointment

Apple Podcasts5pmcmartUnited States2 years ago - Lovely podcast but
Generally love this podcast, it’s a great look at what part of the country I’m not familiar with, however I did have to point out a correction.
The most recent episode title is “Wherefore art thou, Romeo? At JACK’s!”
Wherefore is why, not where. In the speech that this line is taken from, Juliet is lamenting the fact that Romeo is a Montague and thus her sworn enemy, she is not questioning his precise geographical location.
‘Why are you, Romeo? At Jack’s!’ makes absolutely no sense.
