Hey Doomroar — this is Matt, I’ve worked with Kevin on Vsauce2 for 10 years and co-host The Create Unknown podcast with him, and now we also work together on Popular Science. I’ve had this short story video series idea for a while, and it’s great to have it fit with PopSci.

So I had the same thought a lot of people have but I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Went and looked up some podcast episodes and Matt definitely sounds different here. I’m willing to chalk it up to presenter voice rather than AI (podcast vs video essay after all) but it gives me the same sense of uncanny disquiet most AI voice does. Can’t really put my finger on what’s off but definitely soemthing.
It’s a shame cause the topic is really interesting and I liked listening to Matt on the podcast. However the video needs more dynamic narration. If this is indeed not AI then maybe a other take or two would go a long way, I’ll give the next video a shot!

Edit: having listened to the whole video I gotta say the narration is noticeably better in the back half, I believe it’s real. Probably just growing pains in a new style. Overall I liked the video!

Something you missed is that his Korean War wingman, Ted Williams, was behind the scenes at the Cape for both of Glenn’s launches to see him off, the Mercury mission in 62 and his return to space on the Shuttle when he was 77.
