Generating audio is probably easier if the paid version is used and I might be able to customize the voices to clone the original actors but whew, too much work for such a disappointing result.  I spent several minutes trying to get the word emphasis but it just sounds weird.  Also Gook should rhyme with Cook not an ethnic slur.

That podcast might have been just as unlistenable but at least it was quick and easy :)
