“Have been a listener for many years as I like the content and the coverage of current affairs. How ever of late they have hired a bunch of folks to simply read out written articles. In spite receiving negative feedback about the elocution skills of some of these folks they continue to proceed with the same. That leaves a bad taste when folks cannot understand the difference between decade and decayed , pronounce rural as rulal, do not know how to pronounce Biden, Barack Obama , grievance etc. Much to my surprise one pronounced even the stage name of Assam incorrectly. Needless to say they have lowered the bar on hiring and probably do not even bother to hear their own podcasts once they are recorded . If you cannot verbalize accept and except correctly then you shouldn’t be in a verbal profession in my opinion. I am not complaining about accent but just about bad pronounciation as Mr Shekhar Gupta has tried to use accent as defense. Sad to see him not owning up as he frequently exhorts others to own up to mistakes and make improvements.”
