Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast
At first ACC's voice kind of annoyed me because his delivery is kinda flat and monotone. But now it's actually one of my favorite things about the podcast. Deadpan delivery with hints of sarcasm and killer jabs. Love it, so funny. ACC is doing a public service producing these shows. Please never stop.
Monotonous
Despite being subject matter I am usually super engaged in, the flat voice and unnatural diction made it so hard to listen to. I tried multiple episodes, restarted when I realized I wasn’t taking in anything the narrator was saying. I listened really closely to see if I could identify it as an AI generated voice but I really can’t tell. Maybe a different type of AI voice would be an improvement.
The Machine (Tyson Foods) Changed my Life
I’ve been listening to Swindled for many years and The Machine episode truly changed my outlook on my, seemingly conscious, attempts to maintain an animal cruelty free lifestyle. I am super impressed with the research done to present all of the flaws in our US animal production practices and I thank you for shedding the light on areas where I can and will do better. Great podcast all around and very impactful episode for me personally. Thank you for all that you do to open your listeners eyes/minds.
