I wonder how possible, if not likely, the reason why people are reacting so negatively to Hansen’s and Fahri’s voices is because the codecs aren’t playing nice with their voices…which is something largely outside their personal control.

There is a known issue with the codec used for HD Radio transmissions and many female voices. It does make me wonder who’s minding the shop. BRING FRANK TAVARES BACK!!
