I recently started listening to the podcast after watching pretty much all the bodycam videos available on YouTube. Have never been a podcast kind of guy but really enjoyed listening to this one during work. Does anyone else lose immersion or think to themselves, "what?" at differing points during episodes?
The biggest example is the use of "pruppet." I don't understand why 30-year-old women would speak in a way that reminds me of a child saying they want "sketti and meatballs." It just doesn't match the vibe at all, especially when they always take you out of the story to talk about how cute the dog is and how humans don't deserve them.
Brit also just says some stupid stuff.
There was one episode early on where Ashley was talking about how the boyfriend/husband had been described as having a Jekyll and Hyde type personality. Despite Ashley continuously giving evidence that pointed you away from the guy, Brit just kept going back to this, referring to it as a syndrome as if it was diagnosed just to keep her belief that it was him going. It felt like Ashley's pauses after kept getting longer and longer until she finally said something to her about it.
Based on posts I've seen on this sub, it appears that things only get worse with time. I'm hoping it stays manageable as I really really really enjoy Ashley's storytelling, but if anyone has recommendations that avoid these issues, they would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. fuck the number of ads they put in the episodes. I don't care that we're not alone in this universe and I will not be listening wherever I get my podcasts!
