Buzz Out Loud Lounge forum: Molly Wood - Annoying Voice

Give her a set of PJ's and she'll want a snuggle. Soon there will be cuddles and YOU will be serving up breakfast.

It is the awesome.

We're just having fun, and at no one's expense. I am not harping on Molly or anyone else here, just banter...

The sarcasm really annoys the hell out of me. And whats with her jotting down stuff on some paper, it's internet show, what could show possibly need to jot down at the last minute? cnet seriously needs to change up its newscasters.

... and let me tell you, she does not have an annoying voice. It could be that you just don't like what she's saying. I like her best, though, when she launches in to her "nerd" voice.

Listening to (and watching) Molly is one of the highlights of my week and it's a shame she's leaving Mailbag.

Can't technology solve this? We need to have a way identify Molly's voice in the podcast, and strip it out. It'll also make the podcasts much smaller, and inversely more useful.

We can have the dude that creates the pod-casts post a version with each voice on a separate track, then we can just turn off a particular track.

Or if that's not possible, there can be some audio filtering software that can do it.

Perhaps some with mad audio edit skills can locate such software or audacity plug-in. Maybe we can have Moly do the research.

I sad to hear Tom Merritt is leaving BOL. He definitely had a lot of knowledge about the tech industry.

If anyone was to leave, I wish it would be Molly Wood. She turns the show into a high school pajama party instead of actually talking about tech stuff. I think it's because she has very little knowledge of tech and simply thinks having a congenial personality is enough to keep her employed. She's horrible and if she was a young blonde woman, she'd be unemployed.

Maybe her voice reminds you of someone annoying in your life. I find her voice annoying because it reminds me of two different annoying women I know.

Today is the first time I stopped listening to BOL mid episode because of her voice. The show is boring when she's not in it, yet I can't stand her voice. Ce la vie!

The worse thing about Molly is when she says "REALLY?!" in that annoying sarcastic tone, sometimes over and over. And she seems to make an effort to make her voice more and more scheechy every time, as if it gives that word more impact or something. Also how she laughs half way into her own sentences, which are never funny anyway.

This is silly and stupid. Molly Wood is an amazing journalist who has the amazing ability to cut through the BS and see companies and their products for what they really are. Her posts and blogs are funny, interesting to read, and this is a big for me... I actually get her humor and sarcasm and I find it funny, I've been listening to BOL for almost 4 years and I have never found her voice annoying. All of the BOL hosts, both past and present are extremely good professional journalists, and if they were just rabitting on about random stuff during the show, they wouldn't be doing their job.
Love you Molly and everyone else on the BOL crew!
