  • Great podcast

  • The vocal fry is absurd and unlistenable

    Seems like an interesting story but the narrator has absurd vocal fry ruining the show. It’s an audio only medium, why would you not have a narrator who’s pleasant to listen to?

  • There are classes for that

    Amazing podcast -

    The vocal fry is fixable - a vocal coach could take care of that. Worth the time and money to invest in it. Her tone/pitch was pleasant - but she ‘sits’ in her vocal chords.

    It is honestly so peculiar to me that this woman has not been charged, got off scotch free because it became public knowledge to the country.
