# The Editorial Board

My colleague Randolph does an admirable job of narrating the content for most of these blog posts. 

Randolph doesn’t really exist. 

But I have attached a photograph of him to help with the illusion. 

You could see him as an ‘imaginary friend’ that I met somewhere in the metaverse – which doesn’t exist either (except in one of Marc Zuckerberg’s more forgettable business plans). 

The truth is that he is 'merely' a disembodied AI-generated voice that I purchased online. 

There are many reasons I like working with Randolph. 

First, in a strange way, his voice reminds me of my lovely wife, who’s also English. 

Second, his delivery and inflection almost always works well with the text that I’ve written – sometimes with the help of Grammarly to proof the content for missing words or grammatical errors. Finally, and just as important, I can’t stand listening to my own voice all the time as I put these posts together.
