A Rosary Companion

I honestly did not realize it was an A.I. voice. While a big part of me wishes it was prayed with a human voice, I did not find the voice distracting while I prayed. The voice was programmed to be calm and pleasant and not rushed, all of which I appreciated. I am just so happy that I have been helped with praying the Rosary. There are Ads at the beginning so I take off my earbuds for that time. I did not realize there were ads at the end as I anticipated there might be and therefore take out my earbuds. The initial ads have been loud, and that is unfortunate. BUT, I still am so grateful for this podcast. Thank you!

I started listening to this podcast when I was coming home to the Catholic Faith in 2023 after a 12yr stint of being Protestant. I wanted to pray the rosary but couldn’t quite remember all the words and a few of the prayers. I would listen and pray alongside this podcast every day on my commute. It helped me form a devotion to Mother Mary, and helped my kids learn the prayers too! Now I will listen anytime I’m not “motivated” to pray, and it helps me with the hardest part… getting started. So often, I think about how Mary will be with us in our final hours because we have prayed “… now and at the hour of our death” o many, many times. But how many Hail Marys will this podcaster be responsible for in the hour of his death? Millions, probably! So many blessings and signal graces have been bestowed upon us because of this podcast.

I’ve been following along with this rosary podcast every morning for the last five years or more. But recently you switched to this AI generated female narrator. It is too fake. It is so obvious that it is AI and I think it would be a good idea to switch back to a human being. I’ve recently started listening to the Hollow app instead because is not fake. I will continue to check in to see if you’ve changed it back but until then I will do my rosary with a human being somewhere else. Thank you, God bless.

I don’t get the rage at the ads, especially the lady calling it, “disgraceful,” like someone beat up Jesus or something. They’re at the beginning and the end. It would be bad if the rosary was interrupted for an ad, but it’s not. You don’t even have to listen to them. Skip ahead. Have some charity. So entitled. Grow up. As if everybody complaining about the ads would’ve donated to help him do this all these years. My review isn’t based on ads. It’s the new “host.” Her voice is ok. But there are unnecessary pauses, she’s changing the words and, at times, even the format. I find myself focused on her than praying. I gave her a fair shot, waiting all this time for the ship to right itself. It hasn’t. I don’t know what happened to Christopher. It would have been nice to let us know about such a big change. I hope everything is OK with him and will keep him in my prayers. However, I’m sad to say, after almost 6 years, I have to find another rosary podcast.
