Not everyone has a voice built for radio, many people have vocal ticks and resonances that are terrible to listen to. Unfortunately my brain will zero in on anything that irritates it so the entire podcast message is lost because I keep focusing on their lipsmacking, nasal sounds or that one pitch that gets hit whenever they get excited.

Agree. Changed the audio speed slower and vocabulary
is slurred as the words, stretched, have distinctive articulation ♡
