  • Great point of views poor sound

    Hi

    I listen to these podcasts weekly. All the topics are extremely relevant to my work and inspire my thinking. However quality of volume is poor. It is very hard to understand parts of the content even on full volume especially when you compare to what else is out there. Hence the pod cast usually looses value for me mid way.

    Thanks

    TA.
