I wonder how difficult/viable it would be to crowd source actual people reading the articles? I am sure there must be radio journalist students who wouldn't mind reading pieces for feedback from listeners (on their reading?).

That's pretty much what Umano is doing. I'm not sure how they decide which articles get read though.
