Last night I caught the CBC radio rebroadcast of Radio Poland
programming. A few of the people interviewed had really irritating
voices. Then I noticed that most of the pauses that occur in normal
speech had been taken out, combined with a poor sound quality.

It sounded almost like a bad 'text to speech' computer program.

Why? Saving bandwidth on the satellite? I'd sure hate to listen to music
tampered with that way.
