Fantastic content, the production reminds me of a high school presentation. So many different voices jumping around it’s hard to keep up with who is saying what. More voice recordings aren’t necessarily better
Great podcast, gripping, well made and well voiced including the AI voice - it’s not off putting or out of place like the other reviewer states especially considering the other voice actors used.

Great yarn, Aotearoa podcasting above its weight. Listen!
The use of AI voice synthesis is completely unnecessary and ruined the flow and authenticity of the podcast. Use a voice actor, people matter.
