A better reader, please!
“The Big Idea” has been my required morning listen for almost a year. It’s been a great podcast. But it has recently become much less easy to listen to. James Hohmann was marvelous. Maybe no one can replace him. But you now have someone reading aloud who is clearly new to it, whose pauses and stresses don’t always fit the text. That’s hard to listen to. Reading aloud really well takes experience. That’s why authors aren’t always the best readers of their own work. Please, please, appoint a reader who can be listened to easily!! The podcast really suffers without it.
