"why I was so monotone ... do Audiobooks". LOL, probably too busy concentrating on 'sounding professional' [a big problem with snippets of audiobooks I've heard]. Once you progressed further it was no longer monotone and, from memory, once the action starts your excitement and charm shows through.

From memory, a bloody battle. Viewers should enjoy the fight and your commentary.
I recall I didn't agree with one of your 'two cents worth' that is to come, and I may comment later. As usual, there is often some 'method to my madness'.

[Trivia Note. Like quite a few sayings, 'method to my madness' stems from Shakespeare (From Hamlet 2.2.203 "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't." More quotes in common use today can be found here (https://inews.co.uk/culture/william-shakespeare-quotes-phrases-plays-465th-birthday-today-3210).]

Sounded like a robot? No, sir. You can call it calm, clear and non-native-speaker-friendly. But I do look forward to the emotion in the tone when the dramatic moment comes.

So excited with this after a 'long, dreary, wet Summer' here. I thought the into was perfect. As Mr. Swanson observed, a bloody fight, I cannot wait to see it unfold and have no doubt I will enjoy the commentary and the fight ! "I recall I didn't agree with one of your 'two cents worth' that is to come, and I may comment later. As usual, there is often some 'method to my madness'." As quoted, we don't always agree with the 'two cents worth' but I love reading them and seeing another perspective...............Brilliant Stuff, well done as always ! and I've only seen Ep. 1

Make my enemy brave and strong, so that if defeated, I will not be ashamed.

A "long, dreary, wet Summer"? The impression that we have in the southern hemisphere if that the northern hemisphere is burning up. Even cacti wilting (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-03/arizona-heatwave-is-wilting-cacti/102683216) in Arizona as July was recorded as the world's hottest month ever.

Here, in the middle of Australia's winter, I have been enjoying lovely days of 23C (73F). I shudder to think what our upcoming summer will be like. Methinks Australia may burn in 2023/2024 as we did in 2019/2020 when about 50 million acres were torched by bushfires.
