That&#x27;s an interesting analysis, although perhaps the most interesting thing to me is that I can hardly sit through a minute of any of those YouTube voices linked in the article. I find the pacing and &quot;bubbliness&quot; exhausting, and the tone bordering on patronizing.<p>And yet I find some &quot;Internet personalities&quot; very interesting to listen to, and they&#x27;re mostly from podcasts. Dave Chen from slashfilmcast.com is a favorite of mine (and yes, I miss Adam Quigley&#x27;s voice). Many NPR shows (which I listen to in podcast format) are obvious examples.<p>In fact, the voices really make or break podcasts for me. I never made it past the first 15 minutes of Serial, because I just couldn&#x27;t sit through the host&#x27;s voice (clearly this is not a common opinion).
