I found their narration to be extremely bland, disconnected, nothing special about it (easy to n believe it wasn’t real people) and easy to tune out and forget I was even listening to it. So I voted I’d much rather have the author podcast it. They sounded like they could’ve been just as easily discussing the latest trend in shoes or next week’s weather forecast rather than a series political subject. It was devoid of emotional variation or tonality. Absolutely way too fake upbeat and cheery, a bit like the dumbing down of media in “1984” to make it palatable to the masses. I guess not my cup of tea is also an appropriate take. Please note this is my critique of the AI generated podcast not of your actual writing. You are as always, educational, informative, and looking to land your writing in the recipients mind with precision. ❤️

You certainly are challenging the status quo And I am here for it. Even though I'm in Iceland right now waiting to see what happens this election. (Or if there isn't an election and we just end up sending troops to Israel to help them do whatever the f*** they're doing)

Thanks, Brad!

Also, enjoy Iceland!

While you're there: get a plot of land and set up US citizen lodgings. IF this election goes south, many of us will escape to the north.

I'm honestly working on it. I'm sure I could make an offer to the owner of this property and buy it It has water and power off grid.

I'm hedging similar plans but for Portugal or Spain. Not sure if I'll be able to bring them to reality, but the concepts are there.

Portugal and Spain are both very religious from my impressions and not to climate friendly as in exceptionally hot in the summer just FYI. That's kind of why I'm in Iceland.

Great sources of water, the weather is cool and will remain that way, the only issues I'm seeing so far are sun all day during the summer and then in the winter it's mostly dark. I also looked at the Faroe Islands ( part of Denmark and has great health care plus a cool wet climate and plenty of water. People are friendly language is hard to learn but it's a population of around 50,000 to 60,000 with lots of sheep and a huge fishing industry) and Northern Scotland Scotland is my mom's family's European heritage the north of Scotland. It's well established and I'd like the people a lot plus no language barriers driving on the other side of the road is a bit weird but other than that it seemed doable even though it's part of the UK.

I have more information but thata the tumbnail
