  • Host’s pronounced lisp is distracting

    To make a podcast palatable to the ears and make it one that people will come return to again and again, the host has to have a good voice, enunciation and cadence. The host here, while it’s not their fault, has a pronounced lisp, which is distracting from the content. The host should find a new career where their lisp is not a determinant.
