There’s lots of background music in the show. In relation to this topic, check all that apply.

The background music is nice and adds to the show.

The background music is often too quiet or inaudible in my listening environment.

The background music is often too loud or intrusive.

I would prefer there were no background music.

Other:

Comedy songs close most Literature and History episodes. Check all that apply.

The comedy songs are fun and a nice close to the episodes.

I feel neutral about them overall. Fine with me to keep them at the ends of shows, though.

I don't like or listen to the comedy songs.

Other:

Reading millions of words into a microphone is challenging, and I’m guilty of mispronunciations far more often than I’d like to be. To help me improve, has anything bugged you in particular about my delivery? Do I use any words, or types of sentence construction too often, or have any verbal tics that are distracting and could be improved on?

Otherwise, do you have any advice for me as to what to do, keep doing, or not to do?
