Customer Reviews
Mike’s right. Sequence this feed so we know which is the latest.
Like the information but can be very repetitive.
So monotone, it must be AI generated
Only listened to a single episode . There is zero expression which makes it very difficult to absorb any of the information. My only explanation that is that it must be a script that is read by AI. and if that’s not the case, they need to find somebody else to speak somebody who is authentic and imperfect.
Terrible narration
Like listening to AI reading a novel. No presenter skills. Nor humans? Was very interested in a world news roundup but I just can’t listen to this.
