Why would a publisher with pride trust their audiobook to someone who understands little & cares less about what they're reading? My current listen is ruined by the reader! Misplaced emphasis; mispronunciations e.g. "ZOOlogy" & "centenARy", & howlers like the Hungarian struggle with "Australia" 🙉

Are you sure the narrator isn’t AI? I had to stop listening to a book because of the things it did to acronyms.

I did wonder! but I looked him up and apparently he's a real person 😓

I suspect some actual, normally good, human narrators now may be using ai to correct or infill their readings? I tried Sarah E Bond's great book, Strike, on audio, but had to give it up because every fifth sentence sounded... wrong. Excerpts of the reader's earlier work were lovely, so?

Ugh, yeh, or how they got by the producers.
