I know it's been brought up in the past, but if we're revisiting the whole thing, is there a better voice available for espeak these days? I like the idea of having the host announced, along with a simple description of the ep, but every time I recommend an episode to someone outside the HPR community, I have to warn them to ignore the horrible robot voice at the beginning. It really sounds quite bad compared to others that are out there, though I don't know what Free Software options are currently available. If this one is still state-of-the-art for scriptable FOSS voices, then there's nothing to complain about, since nothing can be done. But if some better voices do exist now, maybe we could look at swapping out the one we currently use?
