The MrBallen magic is missing?

On other platforms l adore MrBallens story telling skill. On YouTube for example, he's visually engaging and his narration is excellent, he weaves detailed and competing stories. I'm finding his 'special' something is missing in the way he narrates these stories. I'm not saying they are not worth listening to but I'm not enjoying the delivery as much as l normally do.

Amazing story telling and delivery

John, you are fantastic. Your ability to navigate through complex scenarios and deliver them in story format simply helps my mind. I sometimes struggle to understand and keep up due to my autism but you are fantastic and I can listen to you easily and. follow along without any issues!
