Thanks for the feedback. I’m the author of the medium blog post too.
If you have any tips on where to find a better free voice, I’m all ears. I haven’t tried chatterbox yet, that one might do it.
It could also be that the “direct blog post to video” format doesn’t cut it. But I’m still experimenting with ways to generate effective multimedia out of my content.
Edit: Regarding “satire”, that doesn’t apply to this blog post in particular. But I did add some jokes here and there to keep the dry topic going.
