Customer Reviews
Great content
Really good content, but the pronunciation of the narrator is really distracting for me. Simple words (escalate) pronounced wrong, becomes all I can think about throughout that sentence!
can’t be bothered
not a comfortable listen. I suspect AI or some other
intensive automation is involved in both content and presentation.
Bland
Nothing like the other shows and totally robotic and bland. Skims at the most superficial level of each story … I know it’s a headline show but really look around at your competition ..
love the Economist but guys PLEASE .. what’s going on with this ?
