I've taken the liberty of recording the men's voices for Section 3, if you want to check your pronunciation with my version.

(Also, I notice that the volume is 82.2)

Thankyou for this! To be honest, this is my preferred option but I didn't want to load you up with more things to record!

How about this? Was a bit like pulling teeth but I'll get better over time. It's stop-start because I was recording phrase by phrase. I'll fix it in editing.

Not bad, except
50s doitit - I'm not sure why she's spelled it that way but it should be pronounced "doat-it" (the second t is really a glottal stop).
1:33 fooleries - i.e. foolishness, stress on the first syllable.
2:30 ane sermon - "ane" pronounced "yin"
