“Hum drum. This is less of a podcast and more of an audio articles feature. There is a qualitative difference, by illustration, between listening to the WSJ podcast and listening to the audio version of WSJ printed articles. The episode on Bora Bora was delivered as if reading a eulogy. It managed to make the cheerful island sound depressing. The narrator’s vocal fry was so grating (to ears over 35) that it was distracting. The material could be delightful if given a real production effort.”
