Podcast Vocal Examiner
Role involves listening to 2 minutes of podcasts and determining whether the presenter's voice is so annoying it distracts from the content or not.

So many great premises ruined by whiney or weird voices.

Yours?

Professional spoiler - telling you the endings of books and films so you needn’t bother with them.

If you could pop over and give Youtube a looksee when you have a spare minute I would be ever so grateful!

Amazing idea. There was an audiobook I really wanted to read but it was read by the author and I had to stop due to his mucousy mouth sounds hurrrr. I won't name as I love his work!

I'd be a Fad Investigator, someone who explores things which are sweeping the world/country as a craze to see if they are actually any good.

I'd also be a psychic online dating Knobhead Detector. I'd examine the profile of someone you're interested in dating and tell you if he's likely to be a knob or not, to sort the wheat from the chaff. I'm actually really good at doing this in real life but sadly there isn't much of a market for it. Yet... 🤔😁

@ZeppelinTits that first one is a real job - trend prediction is big business in marketing!

I would love to be the person who comes up with names for paint colours.

I was thinking this just the other day as I pondered between 'elk antler' and 'lion of hadrian' as potential paint colours for my chimney breast.

That's 'The Ministry of Things That Are Suddenly Everywhere' (cf burritos, Zumba and eating burgers off breadboards) according to That Mitchell and Webb Sound, Radio 4, about 2011!
