The narrator is changing pronunciations of the central figures' surname (episode is The House of Weird Death), even in the same sentences. This makes me think it's possible this show is now AI narrated. I will never knowingly support something made by AI--especially art or entertainment.
Podcast Addict16 months agocolorsofthestorm- Repetitive
The repetition is kind of annoying and the voice too.

I discovered this podcast a couple years ago and as life goes, things change, and life has gotten a bit “eh” for me these days, but I know things will eventually be fine once again.
Regardless, I’ve always been fascinated with how old newspapers used to report, and Richard O. Jones does great.
And I laugh along with him when he’s giving a brief introduction and is all “Yeah, its probably not gonna end well!”
My kind of humor. :)
Thanks, man.

Absolutely love this Podcast!
Apple Podcasts5LilfewUnited States2 years ago - Good…but
I really enjoy the stories and the narrator is very good.
Needs improvement on editing the stories, a lot of repeated information an re-stating of facts
Also some episodes have ridiculous musical sound effects. Too much!
Still one of my favourite true crime podcasts but needs more consistent professional editing
