  • Elocution lessons for some guests?

    I’ve been really enjoying listening to John’s podcasts for the last five years, always playing some every night. I just wish some of his guests would make more of an effort to modulate their voice for radio. Eg JSim though such an intelligent contributor has a nasal tone that really irritates me.

    Perhaps I just happened to pick the wrong first episode to listen to and the hosts were having an off day, but I found the discussion to be mostly summary and shallow complaints. I was hoping for something more insightful.
