I don't know if you remember the "Good Olde Days" back in the 70s. Victorian music hall-style entertainment. The host/compere introduced the acts with multi-syllable pre-ambles that would go on and on...I'm sure he used something like... The Spectacular Crepuscular Omnifabulous....etc
At least with my readers, the voiceover never took off, and it was a huge investment in time every week. I eventually stopped doing it and used the same time to record a podcast that was more than a voiceover and that appealed to a different audience. The problem with the voiceover, as I see it, is that you are serving the same audience that you already have, so you're spending double the time without getting any more return on your investment. A different podcast, perhaps shorter or longer, perhaps on different topics, and certainly in a more "spoken" style (rather than reading a written text) might net you new listeners who wouldn't read your Substack. Just my thoughts, though. I may be wrong.
Huge fan of the voiceover! Yes!!!!!!!
It's great to have you back. I didn't listen to the voiceover. Perhaps I've heard to much. But will check this out.

"The crepuscular hours"... more please.
For meat and murder I recommend Orlando Crispe’s Flesh-eaters Cookbook, magnificent Grand Guignol, haute cuisine cannibalism.
