Like content, trouble with hosts
I had listened to the show for years. The content has been consistently interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, I have found the Tracy and Holly to have incredibly annoying vocal tones. They are both incredibly nasally. Not only do I have difficulty listening to the tone of their voices and the constant giggling, but most annoyingly is the overly enunciated French and foreign language pronunciations. These pronunciations are so exaggerated, it's incredibly annoying. Does not sound natural at all. I get the feeling the only ones they are satisfying with these of noxious pronunciations is themselves. I listen intermittently for the content but can rarely make it to the end given the annoying sound of the hosts. I have no idea why HSW supports two hosts who clearly have no vocal training to host this wonderful show FYI, the overall rating of the show is clearly a vestige of how amazing rghe experience of tge show was before these two took over. It is tragic and profoundly confusing. I really loves this show back in the day. I tried recently to go back and listen to the early episodes, but apparently Holly is doing some of the ads and her nasally drone that seems to cry out for a correction of her deviated septum was so triggering to me. When I heard heard her voice come on over the ad, I wanted to smash something. It is just impossible for me to understand why these nasally and obnoxious people are allowed to keep ruining what was a nice podcast. I’m a scientist. I would never go into my lab and continue to do things that would contraindicate the objective of science for my own hubris. Why the hosts think it’s OK to drone on in this nasally tone and ruin the show is beyond me. Or maybe the guilt lies with the people who own the show. Either way I’m just so frustrated. I can’t even listen to old episodes as, that nasally obnoxious voice is going to be doing ads.Read full review »

Miss Josh being on it, the new girl is not nearly as interesting or interested in the subject. Sometimes the information is interesting, but the way it is delivered continues to decline.

Interesting topics, awful narrative. If the hosts cut out the sort-of's, actually's and true's, it may be more bearable. If you listen, count how many sort-of's you hear and you'll go bonkers.Read full review »
