  • AI? Or is the team just mailing this in?

    As a frequent Guardian reader, I’m let down as a listener. Sounds like AI voices backed by uninspired scoring.

  • Attention

    I listen to all the episodes. I agree that American English (if that’s what it is) can be grating. I also wonder if the copy is proofread.
