Back on Dec 5, 2024 I wrote the following review: « Why does Mignon reveal the author of a segment she reads only at the end? It sounds deceitful, particularly when occasionally it includes the pronoun « I », which at the end, we realize that the « I » does not refer to her, but to the true author. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to disclose upfront the name of the author of the piece she reads? » Again, on Feb 11, 2025, I wrote that she continued doing it, even if it defies common sense. This temporal misappropriation of a segment is disturbing. The listener, at the end of the read segment, has to replace in his/her/their head the name of the author, thinking all along it was Mignon, but alas, it wasn’t. And today, May 13, 2025 she keeps doing it. Why?!!! Does she ever read these comments?
