The content is so poorly delivered by an AI reader it makes this podcast a challenging listen. Words mispronounced, phrasing off. Is Skift so tight for funds they can’t afford a human to do this small bit of journalism to cover such a human centric category? If the tech can’t be done right, don’t do the tech.
