Where's the human touch?
I'm commuting 3 hours a day in my car. Not good for the environment, but I thought I'd at least try to educate myself.

This is clever, it took me a while to figure out it wasn't a man, but a computer that was speaking to me. But surely it can't be too difficult or expensive to pay someone to read this stuff out. At best the life has been taken out of this subject, at worst some of the stresses on the words completely lose the meaning. I would prefer they give some struggling actor an afternoon's work.

It is good to listen to one a few times in a row so that you can get a good understanding. The readers are...Read full review »
