I like vocal fry - I think it sounds relaxing - keep it up Cara!

Frederick Cossette

Haha That's the best part of the show! We love Cara and we love the guys. You so much remind me of my own brother and I when we argue about sci-fi stuff lol

Grant Miller

The vocal fry stuff is especially unfair because the only way Cara could overcome it on a podcast is to talk really loud. Then those same dinguses would say you yell all the time. Can't win. A distinct voice is a memorable voice. Ira Glass is a great example.

Ross Llewallyn

Huh, I'm surprised Ira Glass vs. Flatow was a struggle. Guess we all spend time consuming different kinds of content. Also, what's fascinating to me as a longtime supporter is that I've barely EVER heard any ads, so I don't even realize that y'all have probably been talking about SquareSpace for years.

Cody Yamada

Quality content! But really, this should become a regular thing.

David Oreol

I love the behind the scenes stuff, keep it coming please.

Dean Smith

SO interesting to listen to the pre-show banter. I'm a "podfaster" - I listen to the SGU at 2X speed, so hearing everyone at this speed made me wonder if they were all hopped up on cold medication. Heh.

Bob Ogden

Yeah, really don't understand the hate on vocal fry. Cara can talk all day long and I will be fine with listening to what she is saying which I can't say for everyone, some voices grate but it is not to do with vocal fry

Never heard of "vocal fry" before today. Now I've looked it up and understand and can identify it, but I don't get why people are assigning a value judgement. It's just an element of a voice.

Grant Miller

I think people react to it because it's common on AM (NPR) radio, and somehow that leads them to a value judgement. It's associated with a sort of Valley Girl sound, but I think that whole line of logic is flawed. It's just a voice. When you find yourself doing things like passing negative judgement on a person based on their voice cracking a bit... well, maybe you've gone overboard.

Mark Marriott

I've heard Stephen Fry can be vocal sometimes....

Oliwia Bieniek

Love listening to Cara's voice and her laughing! And the Rural Juror throwback, haha

Chris Clark

Is there raw video as well? I'd love to see you guys goofing around before the show.

Michael Kalonikos

Fantastic! “It’s all anecdotal”. Steve dropping some knowledge.

Robert Lang

I'm on the fence...more editing perhaps? There's some gold here, but do I need to hear the trials and tribulations of trying to get Cara on skype?
