Not for me
I listened to the first episode and couldn’t bear the thought of listening to the rest of the episodes because of the irritating voice narrating the podcast. It’s interesting to see from other reviews that I’m not alone. I also note from other reviews that apparently this is a sexist remark! No it isn’t, it’s constructive feedback which the narrator can take on board to make future recordings more listenable. Vocal fry is simply unpleasant on my ears and I stopped listening for that reason. Nothing nasty intended, no sexism, just an unpleasant experience on the ears for which I’m giving feedback.

I normally have no problem with vocal fry but it’s just so constant and grating in this podcast. I started listening at 1.5x and that kind of wipes it out but ahh. The story and content is so good (as in infuriating) but it’s a really challenging listen.

I want to continue listening but I’m struggling with the narration. Flat delivery with vocal fry and dragging the end of each sentence. Great journalism, stop with the fry.

Amazing story and reporting. I love your narrating ad well. I think it’s very strange that there are a few reviews complaining about vocal fry because I didn’t notice it and really was enjoying it. When is the next episode?
