But the research and breadth of the coverage knocks me out.

Very interesting, but took a while to get used to the narration. It wasn't actually his accent, but the odd way he spoke that was very irritating. I don't know how to describe it, but anyone who has listened to him knows what I mean.

Which makes everything he says sound like a question? But it's not?

It was the way he ended every sentence. Really odd. After a while I evidently got used to it or he got better.
