  • Good but..

    Great podcast but more and more episodes are being narrated by the lame AI voice. Luke’s a fantastic narrator so I don’t understand why they don’t use him. Please stop using the AI voice. Without that, it’s an easy 5 stars.

  • Back into the old quality

    We’re finally getting back to the quality of the older podcasts. While the two episodes on the third riech and their depraved doctors was not a good episode because of the AI Luke voice the newest episode was great and had the same quality as the old episodes. Edit : I take it back I can’t tell if the newest episode is using an AI voice. I hope it’s not because I still like this podcast but it’s getting kind of hard to.

  • Not a fan of the AI voice

    I’m not sure why but cloning the hosts voice and doing the podcast in a deadpan monotone AI voice just isn’t working for me. Quality is going downhill.
