  • Concerns about the accent

    Is it possible to find a host and journalist with less pronounced accents? I have concerns that prolonged exposure to heavy accents, as in Platts' podcast, could influence both my own accent and that of my students, which is why I hesitate to use the valuable information they provide.

  • Poor audio

    The mixing on mic levels of guests and between episodes is truly rough. Some are like a whisper, others booming. Often this leads me to delete episodes and forego content.
