The sound quality is poor compared to other podcasts. I need to have the volume on my headphones high to hear the episodes.
I love this and want more but please get some new kit! Also the start and end sound a bit like a hypnosis session. I really enjoyed the episode on Liverpool, could be the makings of an interesting series on the planning histories of individual cities. Thanks
The content is great, but you struggle to hear anything if you’re on the train or in any other moderately noisy environment.
The content is great but the sound quality is shocking, whether I listen on laptop/headphones/mobile/speaker I have to turn the volume up to maximum and the background noise is louder than voices.
Excellent subjects discussed but the sound quality is appalling. Need to invest in better equipment to match the subject matter!!
