  • So many mispronounced words—ugh.

    Sadly, I’ve been spoiled by years of listening to pro narrators on Audible. The Walrus apparently lets narrators pronounce words and foreign names however they want. 🤯

  • Great subjects!

    It’s great to be able to access articles from The Walrus via podcast. I wish the narrators sounded a little more human and were more diverse in their accents, but otherwise the podcast is a very good one.

    A rare Canadian-focused podcast with quality and variety. There should be more intellectual and ideas-based podcasts based in and on Canada.
