Very Interesting Podcast!

I became interested in Carol Ann Lloyd's work through her Smithsonian Associates lectures. Although her topics on their own are very interesting, it is her presentation of them that I enjoy the most. She presents the material as though she is having a conversation with her audience. She doesn't dictate a prepared monotone lecture; she speaks enthusiastically, asks questions, and encourages her audience to participate in the exchange of thoughts, theories, and ideas. She really is an excellent speaker! So when I learned that she had her own podcast, I immediately joined as a member (to gain access to the extra content), and now I eagerly listen to it every week.

Very annoying narration

The narrator is overly dramatic and turns the whole story into what sounds like a grade school play. What a pity.
