Great content poor audio quality
With podcasting the quality of audio is key. Anything that detracts from smooth delivery of content causes distractions and for many causing them to stop listening. Audio quality includes the narrator delivering the content. The narrator on this show is not suited to audio broadcast. One reviewer suggested listing to the show at 2x speed, which sadly did not help. The narrator struggles with or largely disregards punctuation. The tone and delivery of his voice implies a complete lack of regard for the content he is reading and comes across as a forced chore. It is painful to listen to an entire episode and the delivery leaves the listener depressed and uneasy. It is a challenge to understand where a thought ends and a new one begins. The narrators voice is very difficult to understand as there is no inflection on sentence components and they all run together. I have tried for years to listen to this podcast regularly but can not due to inability to follow what is being said. I do not support advertisers of this show as it seems as if the narrator is mocking them and does not have faith in the products he is promoting. The ad reads come across as disingenuous and untrustworthy. If I were to advertise my company on this show I would want my ad dollars back. It almost sounds as if the narrator is shaking his head in disgust while reading ad verbiage. I encourage 9to5Mac to better support the hard spent dollars of advertisers and provide them quality audio representation. 9to5Mac, please immediately invest in proper narrators for this show. This should include the 9to5Deals segment as that narrator is far less suited than the main host. I stop listening immediately to that section. Clear, understandable, trustworthy audio is the most import portion of a podcast, it seems as if 9to5Mac would wish to grow their podcast market not offend their advertisers and inconvenience their listeners. Investing in your audio will listenership and ad revenues.

I’m sorry, but this sounds like text-to-speech podcast. No emotions, no charisma, just plain reading of the text. That’s not what podcasts are about.

I love listening to 9to5Mac Daily every morning. Zach Hall did a great job getting the podcast off the ground. I'm glad to hear Chance continuing the great work everyday.
