This podcast would get 5 stars if all the hosts weren’t forcing vocal fry so hard that my throat hurts in empathy. You are using your voices for (some kind of) a living! Stop ruining them! You think you sound more serious/intelligent/ gender normed but you just sound so insecure and like you’re trying to cover up being bad at your jobs! But you AREN’T bad at your jobs, except being impossible to listen to!
I’d also like to give that feedback, but with a good ol’ kick in the shin to the host and editors of the Sept 4th episode about Miyawaki forests. I was really interested to listen to this episode, and the second I heard the birds, I knew it wasn’t gonna last. I stuck it out as long as I could, but when the birds started going nuts and you did NOTHING to be responsible, I had to turn it off. “Surely no one can complain about that!!” By the host is so ridiculously ignorant of those who get awful migraines from high pitched noises DIRECTLY in their ear. Y’all celebrate yourselves so much for being progressive and accommodating, yet you mock those with legitimate medical conditions. My phone automatically tunes out background noise, I refuse to believe you don’t have this technology. You’re just refusing to use it. Y’all gross.
