Interesting topics, terrible production and narration

“I am an earth scientist, so this is definitely a topic that I’m interested in. I don’t expect the material to be as in-depth as what you would find in a graduate-level course. However, there are some problems that I have with the show. In regard to the science, some of the information that they provide are not entirely correct. For example, they made it seem like extremely rapid plate motion drove and strengthen the eruptions (even in the middle of an eruption) from Krakatoa. That’s a gross over simplification that isn’t entirely true. Maybe that would be a good time to get a direct quote or audio clip from a scientist. Another issue that I have concerns their interpretation of those experiencing the event. They dramatize the victims’ feelings in a way that makes it seem like they talked with the person directly when that is not the case. Personally, I don’t want to hear a drama; I want cold hard facts with little snippets of accounts. Another issue that I have deals with the narration. It is terrible. I feel like I’m listening to an even worse and robotic version of Dateline or something. It’s dreadful. I genuinely hate it even though it’s covering topics that I’m interested in (hell, I’m working on my PhD and natural hazards are a component). Additionally, there is no need to say “up next: [this part]. But first, let’s return to the story.” You didn’t have a commercial break. There was no break in the show or story. Just tell us what happened. Sorry if this seem pedantic, but I listen to a lot of podcasts while in the lab, and this is one that just kills me. It’s unfortunate that this is the case because the subject matter is fascinating.”

“Interesting subject but the narration sounds like it is written and read by computers. The alternating male and female voices are robotic, creepy and boring. Too bad because the subject is fascinating.”

“I had high hopes for this interesting podcast subject matter. They were dashed immediately. This podcast is over produced. The hosts are not conversational at all—they read from scripts written for the lowest common denominator. Music sound track that’s unrelenting and annoying sound effects...”Read full review »
