"Get a better reader"
I am a scientist myself and I like the content of SN, so tried one month of the audio version. I found the poor reading so distracting that I did not renew. Surely audible.com/SN can find someone who is familiar enough with science to be comfortable with the vocabulary, but who also either has acting experience or natural talent for public reading. The current reader does well enough with pronunciation (usually), but is constantly getting the "music" of sentences wrong. (I would have guessed English was his second language, but he has no accent.)
