Love this podcast
Look forward to Tuesday’s
Weird Vocal Tone
I just listened to the Asunta episode due to binge-watching the Netflix show about it. This pod had extra details that were glossed over or omitted in the show, which I appreciate. The way the speaker reads aloud is very distracting, though. It’s not humanly possible to read *More.* *Emphatically.* Each and every word is emphasized, to the extreme of sing-songy inflection. I wasn’t sure I would be able to get through the entire episode. It’s grating and sounds amateurish. I might get used to it, we’ll see.
Very well presented
This is horrific & you managed to bring a different perspective to an already horror. Well done.
