So so

Host needs to seem more intrigued in what he’s saying. Hard to listen to with being monotone the entire time. Also, based on comments made by the host I’m assuming he doesn’t know much about true crime.

Good research terrible narration

Host needs to perk up a bit- monotoned, read off script and rather boring to listen to-which is a shame because the content is worthy of time and interest.

Why does host sound bored?
