Great storytelling and narration

The stories are entertaining without going into too much detail. Short and sweet!

A Fan, Not of the Host ,

Cadence is Heinous

Narrator’s cadence makes this impossible to listen to. The inflection after the end of every sentence is unnatural and obnoxious. I lasted less than 2 minutes. It’s mind numbing and pure torture. I imagine this is the unassuming guy they release upon prisoners w his upseak cadence as a torture device ans mechanism. I’m picturing this podcast playing on repeat w this man’s atrocious cadence driving poor individuals clinically insane to the brink of their own self inflicted expiration. Surely, this podcast must be one of the torture instruments inflicted on prisoners. How anyone can survive a single episode is unimaginable and truly unthinkable. I’ve tried to listen to this podcast multiple times forgetting about the narrator’s cringey inflection until 10 seconds in and then it all comes flooding back like a painful nightmare. His cadence is triggering and trauma inducing. He should not be allowed to orate/narrate anything. I literally don’t know how anyone can listen to him speak for more than 5 seconds, enduring his inflection is like surviving an assault on not just your ears but your entire being. Make him stop. Many saved ears will be in your debt. What violence he commits to the oral tradition. Horrifying, truly!

Monotonous voice and too much rambling

15 minutes in and the monotone host just started talking about the Badlands. His voice is so un-engaging that it’s impossible to continue listening.
