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.”

“Huh? It’s funny to read that the majority of the low ratings are, how can say this political correctly, what a bunch of SNOWFLAKES.
If you don’t like what you’re hearing, read some books, then you can give a more articulated critique, other than “Oooh left PC”. Gimme a break! Back up your...”Read full review »

“For people like me who are ghoulishly entertained by stories of mass death and destruction, this is perfect. So far it plays like a Roland Emmerich movie without the annoying sub plots.
One suggestion: Bump up the speed on the recording about 10%. Both readers sound like a tape player where the...”Read full review »
