Strange narrator ruins cool content

“*Please read the whole thing*
I am not trying to be mean or rude. I’m offering my honest feedback because I appreciate this show and know it can be better.
I’d like this podcast 1,000% more if the speaker would STOP forcing his voice into an artificial and unnatural cadence. Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish by making his voice the way it is, but it’s not working. It is smothering the quality content this show is capable of offering!
The reason I know that he’s “trying” to do something with his voice is because he is not talking how real human beings speak!
The normal cadence of a person’s voice contains variations. What makes a storyteller compelling is the unpredictability of their pauses, speed, intonation, and emphasis. When a person rigidly follows the same rhythmic formula for every. single. sentence. the listener might as well plug their headphones into a metronome. Metronomes are boring and put people to sleep. This narrator’s uncanny imitation of a metronome is making these interesting stories seem boring.
¡PLEASE, heed what people are saying in these comments!
If you do nothing, and eventually comments like mine stop rolling in, that is not a good sign. All that means is people have given up on trying to improve this show and just stopped listening.”

“Love to start listening at low volume when I am going to bed and have the setting to go off at the end of the episode. It’s very relaxing and I go to sleep quickly.”

“Is bloody rubbish. Where Ballen has a clear talent for story telling, the stories are also grounded largely in reality.
For this podcast, the boring voice and completely absurd stories are so unbelievable and out there, I can’t entertain them for a single full episode. The first story, aliens?...”Read full review »
