Well researched and delivered but hard to hear

Really well researched and written, but part of his delivery is breathlessness and whispering the ends of words or lines, which means listening in my car in max out the volume and still can’t catch the ends of words and phrases. I don’t have a loud car. I get the delivery for the drama, but it sometimes makes it frustrating to listen. That said, thorough, dramatic and well researched, so great Hollywood podcast in that way.
