interesting story but narrator speaks in monotone

I listened to the first episode and googled the facts as I listened. Some seem not true.
Very inspiring story but the narrater isn't very good. She speaks in a monotone so it's easy to drift off. I couldn't listen to another. She speaks like she is reading a text not like a professional narrater who adds light and shade to the story with their voice.
