Love it, but what’s up with Don Wildman’s voice?

It almost sounds like him, but then…it doesn’t. I can’t put my finger in what exactly is different, but it is. Great content, but this is kind of weird.

Tv show audio

The content sounded great - I love history, mystery, and museums! - but I just cannot pay attention to a show that sounds like it's a History Channel tv program. (Just checked the info and it's literally audio from a Discovery show.) Educational content doesn't need to be dramatized like American tv does to it.
