Thank you so much for all the support I've been receiving on my Historical Food Week series (including the latest episode on ancient Greek food!)

I'm continuing to plan future episodes for the series and wanted to create a poll to get some input from all of you. As you may have guessed, I play the narrator for the episodes, and the reason I originally chose to do the voice-over is because it made sense with my schedule, budget, etc. I have received the occasional feedback that this comes across as pretentious since I refer to myself in the third person, even though that's definitely not my intention and I am well and truly trying to play a different character (the "Narrator") 😂 For all of the episodes, I upload captions (and even include some hidden humor) for this differentiation to be clearer.

I have considered eventually hiring a voice actor for the narration, and I believe it may be possible for the next episode. How would you feel about suddenly hearing a voice actor in place of myself for the role of Narrator? I would, of course, select someone that I feel best fits the energy of the episodes, and pay them fairly.

Thanks in advance for your input!
