Potential—you know—not quite met—you know
Atlas Obscura promises to be an engaging and fascinating podcast that explores the unusual places and their stories around our home world. And for the most part, it fulfills its mission: it gives us the short (and I mean *short*—you sometimes wish the episodes went into a bit more depth) histories of unusual places, how they came to be, and why they intrigue us today. But the delivery really suffers: Dylan Thuras has a lovely speaking voice, but his mic setup means we hear his mouth and nose noises. And Anne Ewbank’s—you know—endless crutch words—you know—are infuriating. We all use discourse markers or disfluencies in everyday speech. But to make your podcast sound pro, you really need to train yourself to not use them and edit them out. The podcast is so close, and yet still a bit far—much like the obscure places it visits.
