“An individual providing health and wellness information, including, but not limited to, scientific data and academic research studies should be able to and comfortable with pronouncing the words that are part of scientific vernacular. This podcaster slurs his speech with words that are vital and frequently-included in scientific study—e.g. “statistically-significant” (there is a ‘G’ in the word significant). There were several others, but this one (“significant”) seems to be both the most prevalent, and also the most butchered. Slow down, please enunciate/avoid slurring your speech, don’t ‘cold read’ what you plan to quote and critically-review prior podcasts to assess areas of improvement (and adjust your technique accordingly). If the hope is to provide quality information to a captive audience, bludgeoning the listener’s auditory nerve will not achieve that goal. I really wanted to gather the information from the podcast (as a time-saver) and opted to read the entire study to avoid the off-putting lack of articulation from the podcaster. I’ll check back in a few months to see if any changes have been made. 🤞🏻”
