“By way of qualification, I love podcasts and audiobooks, in particular Wondery-produced podcasts.
Moreover I drive often (and far) so I’m always looking for new content.
That being said, this is why you should mos def avoid those one.
First, it’s just not particularly interesting with the exception of the first episode. That was good and macabre and compelling.
But the real reason you should pass is because the narrator, who I think is also the writer and producer (show runner?) reads in the most affected and annoying way.
He pauses between words constantly for emphasis but, like any other technique, he over does it to the point where my wife and I were annoyed beyond measure.
For awhile we even talked to each other like him.
Me: Do you need...to...pee?
Her: I think I’m...ok.
It’s ridiculous.
On the other hand, there were times when he’s simply reading bumpers or promos and he’s soooo much better.
I wish he starts reading like that as he continues his career.”
