  • Horrible voice and narration

    It must be AI. Sounds awful. Please get a human to read. I won’t be back.

  • Narrator is terrible

    Just very off putting and weirdly read… don’t think it is AI but just very odd style of narration.

  • Great content, dreadful AI narration

    Unfortunately the use of an AI voice completely wrecks what should be a great podcast. The pacing, tone of voice and pronunciation are all completely off. The cheerful twinkle with which the narrator relates some truly bloody massacres and cannabilism is amusing, but ultimately it just doesn’t work and is just too off putting for me.

  • Narration to avoid

    Interesting content for the most part but alas an annoying stilted narrator.

  • Awful orator

    Is this orated by an AI bot? It’s hard to listen to and doesn’t flow nicely.
