Great material but the presentation…

It’s like having a horrible murder case read to you by a Kindergarten teacher, with a lighthearted music and strange jokes weaved throughout.

Nope

Sorry but the narrator is terrible! The story may be good, I wouldn’t know as I only made a few minutes.

Psht Off ,

Terrible

I can’t listen to something where the narrator doesn’t even try to pronounce the name of the country correctly.
