  • Hit and Miss

    Some episodes here are absolute gold. Others are just advertisements disguised as podcast episodes. Some of the best conversations have the worst audio quality as well. The panel discussion on lifelong learning was ruined by terrible audio, and the interview with Genevieve Bell did not even mention the trials and tribulations at the ANU. Martin is a skilled interviewer but HEDx is a serious letdown for what could be a great show.
