Missing in Arizona

This is a great podcast but it seems like he did all the research and wrote the script but decided to “phone it in” by letting AI record it for him. If it isn’t that, he has the most pedantic speech I’ve heard in a long time. I love the podcast, but hate feeling like a robot is reading to me.

I don’t mean this negatively toward him or to sound like a jerk, but the narration is sooo awful. I don’t understand why he narrates so much differently than he talks. There’s also a lot of awkward jokes thrown in like he’s tricking you and then is like, “just kidding!” And I feel like there’s a lot of spots where the narrator runs off on a different tangent that doesn’t quite fit into the story. I just found it too hard to listen and to and got distracted by other things.

Narrator is way to self referential, and overdoes it with psychoanalytic language.

You don’t need to bring others down to get your flowers.
