I got images of a fragmented world of prisms and lights going through my head while listening, really love the chopped n screwed approach you went with. The synths and voices mingle together quite beautifully

High praise indeed. Thanks!
Love the vocal chopping. human and robotic at the same time. Is it autotuned into a melody? btw, "Punishing Children" is best done in e minor.

Not if you want a major behavioral change ::)
Major-key corrections seem to work the best. This is like lying on a beach and having your toes occasionally bathed by warm grains of speech sounds.
If robots could sing it might sound something like this. Really awesome stuff.
Hell yeah this rules. Great rhythmic consideration going on with them vocal chops.
Oh! Weird in a good good way! The synths are lovely. Sounds like a mix between DVA and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.
wow, I love this! reminds me a bit of Pogo
Was gonna say this as well, definitely has a bit of a Pogo vibe going on, it's a nice vibe. Absolutely wonderful tune, really lush and beautiful.

I'll take that Pogo comparison with a big smile.
This is ear candy. I love it

Really fun use of the vocals and the overall vibe is very nice

Danke sehr! That podcast was from 2015, so it's probably long gone (but still on my hard drive) ::)
Hypnotic and gives me some good mood... Don’t feel punished at all 
That voice processing is surely one of your best!
Excellent soundworld... I like the twitchy progress with the chords, works nicely with the chopped voices.
Love how the vocals are human, but still not entirely human. And the chopping gives it a very cool rhythmic feel.
A strange topic for an english lesson put to good use here!

Thats what I love about language podcasts; they often deal with fairly bizarre material.
Thank you all for your comments!
Really cool use of the voices but those nice soft underlying pads fading in and out really bring it together. Nice work!
Really warm vibe to this. Like a pop record melting in the sun. Maybe it's because of that I IV progression with the pop comfort hidden there subliminally. Nice work.
really enjoyed this, love the back and forth between the chopped voice samples and those warm synth chords its like a dialogue
