Happy to hear a human voice taking over the show from the AI voice!
Liked the idea of Skift Daily by podcast, but it’s clear no editor is even listening to the final product. Constant mispronunciations by AI. If you aren’t going to do it right, don’t do it at all. A poor look.
The content is so poorly delivered by an AI reader it makes this podcast a challenging listen. Words mispronounced, phrasing off. Is Skift so tight for funds they can’t afford a human to do this small bit of journalism to cover such a human centric category? If the tech can’t be done right, don’t do the tech.
Timely fact-based interview without too much fluff and hard selling.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
