Did a computer bot read and wrote this?

I made it through the whole painful 23 minutes but it was just so weird. I really think it might have been narrated by AI—and by that I mean first generation AI. It was so weird. There were short statements about JK Rowling and the timeline of her life along with dopey definitions. Maybe this was written by a child? A decent narrator could have made the content more palatable. OR…..maybe it was written and narrated for very young elementary school audience. The content was brief and impersonal. The narrating was borderline sing-song. It wasn’t horrible but there are much better podcasts about JK Rowling online.

Brief read

A Cliff’s notes summary of JK’s life. Good for a quick overview. Gets one interested to read a longer version.

Very interesting!

Very interesting summary of JK’s struggle to success. Very motivating to hear she was a regular person before breaking out and realizing her purpose.

An essay by an elementary schooler?

It had bits and pieces I hadn't heard but was dull and overly cheerful. At least it was free.

Poor presentation on JK Rowling

Was torturous listening to this presentation!
Author should be embarrassed as should be the presenter.
Is completely underwhelming.

Annoying

What all the definitions of words at the end of each chapter. I will be deleting this.

Interesting biographical information, but ...

Very disjointed and poorly written. Not the right material to be read out loud, which no doubt impacted the performance.

Juvenile

J.k. Rowling can write. The author of this can’t. This was written by an eight year old doing a book report I think.
