Wonderful story; grating voice!
As other reviewers have said, the world building in this podcast is compelling. It’s just plausible enough to be realistic. However, I can’t listen to more than one episode at a time, no matter how badly I want to binge, because of Alex Brown’s voice. Or, rather, delivery. Given that she plays one of the main characters, Etta, and speaks often, it’s a real problem. In fact, her delivery is the only reason I don’t give The Bridge five stars. She’s always talking in a dripping-with-sarcasm voice (I love sarcasm, just not constant “awwww, gee, does that HUURT?” kind of stuff) and the mock-advertising delivery - my ears bleed! It’s like an obnoxious drunk friend who says EVERYTHING in a Home Shopping Network or cruise-ship- commercial voice - and just. Won’t. Stop. Doesn’t matter if they’re talking about going to the loo, checking someone out at the bar, discussing taxes - it’s all in this dripping, faux-enthusiastic loud voice. I know that the whole series can’t be re-recorded using another actor (or giving Alex Brown different direction), but if so, a casually interesting podcast could easily become a must-listen, can’t-wait event.
