  • Listen on 1.8 speed

    I’ve listened for years & never miss an episode. BUT I have to listen on 1.8 speed, which brings the speech to a normal speed, otherwise it’s unbearable

  • Yet more paywalls

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years. Recently I’m becoming more and more annoyed with the paywall. Very few episodes are released for all, most are now. Pay or wait a week.

  • Interesting stories, annoying voice-cloning

    Really good and interesting stories, but after listening to some of the first episodes, it's quite clear a voice-cloning program is used to narrate the newer episodes. And not a very good one. That's a shame, because the narrating style really is distraction.

  • The presenters voice!!!

    Is it artificial? Totally ruins the show, like a robot talking.
