Information seems to be good . . . Delivery is really bad. Mispronunciations, lip smacking, deep swallowing. Probably a nice guy but no “personality” - sorry Is not even reading fluently. . . Thought would be Dr Mercola

I’m very interested in these articles, however the speaker is a terrible reader and misses key words, which changes the meaning of sentences. It’s a bad dynamic. Either get a better reader or stop the podcast, what is the point of doing it poorly.

for those with misophonia, avoid listening to the episode on Rosacea - the person reading the script - yes, reading, makes all kinds of horrible mouth smacking noises, swallowing, stuttering, - did no one think to edit this? Not to mention reading a script is not a podcast - this is awful. Can't believe mercola would actually put out such low quality content.

Listened to the March 10,2010 episode on fructose and speaker yawned the whole team. Seriously? I never listened to a podcast where podcaster seemed so bored and uninterested. I wish Dr. Mercola was speaking instead.

I would suggest you listed Take Control of your Life with Dr. Mercola. Much better than having someone who does know basic medical terms as the host on this podcast. Still found some of the podcast useful and I wouldn’t want to be reading all the information. Doubt I could do it any better. So thank you for the free information.

The click-bait titles can be ignored, but the person reading these articles performs his job horrible. An elementary school child could do better. I tried to hang in there and listen, but gave up and deleted the show.

I love your prolific site. Great info covering a broad area. I rarely have time to sit down and read your articles, so I download your podcasts. As a former stutter I tend to be aware of speech patterns more then most. I have a bad habit of picking up bad speech habits and re-lapsing with stuttering. When I first began listening to the Mercola Podcasts I thought maybe the reader was new or un-prepared to read the information. But, as many more podcasts were suffered through I find this isn't the case. The current reader makes your podcasts devoid of most of it's content due to my inability to concentrate because of stammering, pausing, mispronouncing words and a general lack of topic familiarity. I love your topics but I'll listen to many other health related podcasts that allow me to use my time to gather information, without being so frustrated. If the reader is changed or trained please advise me and I'll be back. I didn't want to be cruel and figured the reader is probably an un-paid position, but wanted you to know why your podcasts might not be as successful as they could be. J.D. Bell D.C.

good show

Please find another way to have Dr Mercola's articles & views shared with the public.

So sad that these are narrated rather than spoken by Dr Mercola. Dr.M is such a dynamic speaker with great passion and insights for the best health possible. I guess he just can't do everything.

This podcast is just a dude reading a book... Often he even bores himself and yawns frequently ... And stope for sips of coffee ... While reading in his monotone voice and making mistakes. But the information in good if you can hang in there with the reader

Mispronunciation of medical and nutritional words is very distracting. As well as the yawning and sniffling. One episode you could hear kids laughing and joking in the background. As if it were recorded in a college dorm.

I usually enjoy what Dr. Mercola has to say. I am puzzled though that he would let himself be represented by a person that has a hard time reading and has no talent for hosting a podcast. The host puts me to sleep when listening. It would be great to have access to Dr. Mercola's wealth of information. But this is not it. I had hoped this Podcast would actually feature Dr. Mercola.

Dr Mercola, Please get a new host; we want to hear your articles, but your reader is tortuous to listen to. Un subscribing again Sad in Florida

I like the idea of being able to listen to health informational topics but I can't believe that the host kept yawning, sniffing ,pausing and constantly making mistakes during the podcast.

As a podcast host of my own alternative show, Gluck Radio, I can say that Dr. Mercola is on to something. Wildly diverse, replete with great guests.. he's good. Pick a topic, any topic, Dr. Mercola has something for it. After 35 years practicing hypnosis and life coaching, it takes a lot to interest me at this point, and this podcast is one of them. Kudos!

I can't believe the low quality of these podcasts. The speaking is slow and without much inflection. I recommend that you skip these and read Dr. Mercola's text articles instead.

Will not play on iPhone 4

Poor quality podcast. Difficult to follow with pauses, incorrect pronunciation, and yawning. Outdated source material is quoted.

Dr. Mercola certainly isn't a positive person. Everything is fear based and negative. Some info is good, but most exaggerated stuff with "The Sky is Falling" mentality. Not really scientific, pure speculation and hype.
