“The content of these articles is almost always fascinating, but marred by huge inconsistency among the readers/narrators. Some genuinely sound like a schoolchild being made to read out loud; others pronounce words wrongly, and yet others are fantastically nuanced and gripping. I sometimes have to give up listening because the poor narration grates so much and makes it difficult to follow the sense of the article. And sometimes I’m hanging on every word. It feels like pot luck every time? Please, please could we have more of Alice Arnold and others who genuinely seem to understand what they’re reading out (and have researched pronunciations too). You need more than just any old someone who can read words on a page out loud, to make these articles as compelling a listening experience as they deserve to be.”
