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!
Narrator should be changed
Narrator should be a person, not a computer, it’s not natural and quite distracting
30th Oct episode what’s with all the “quote”s!?!.
And why does the broadcaster sound like IA is reading the news. Usually a very good news podcast but absolutely awful today!!
