For me the intonation of words and the pauses between them seem quite off from natural speech as well.



It sounds like unnatural "podcast speech".


As a non-native speaker, I very much prefer this more steady voice than the unbelievably fake intonation a lot of American podcasters/YouTubers use when reading from a script.

Mark Rober comes to mind as having a particularly unnatural and annoying cadence, intonation and pitch shifting during sentences.


It does. It's irritatingly stilted in exactly the same way as The Daily.
