Explain It to Me

jonquilyn hill, you do not need to over enunciate every hard syllable. Vox, please train your hosts to not sound irritating. It’s distracting from the good content.

I want to love the content of this show. There’s good information. And at some point the content does continue for a good block. But there are sections where you can’t go 10 seconds without hearing back to back, redundant sound bites. They are whacky and lengthy and feels like a cheap game show. Vox tends to take themselves seriously in their information so it feels dumbed down, or rather I feel like they are trying to dumb down to meet me. Going to talk about insomnia? Great! What’s the point in an immediate sound bite saying “All in your head man, it’s always in your head” followed by 3 seconds of zombie by the cranberries. It feels like the podcast equivalent of adding subway surfers to a tiktok video.

I just had to unfollow this podcast after the ethics of flying episode. Try finding guests who can get through a sentence without saying “like” twice. By the end of the episode, it had rubbed off on the host. My 13 year old daughter is more eloquent. I expected more from Vox.

Someone just posted that J.Hill over enunciates, I have listen to her on other podcasts. She sounds amazing. I love all of her podcasts. She brings a relaxed energy to things That could be boring. She is a great host. An amazing orator. I want to hear her host more podcast. Her voice and speech was made for radio/podcasts. God Bless!
