  • Great content...

    Great content (thank you), but please do some work on sound quality. The main speakers are often not quite loud or clear enough & distracted by background noise.

  • Microphones badly positioned

    Coughing from the Chair was very loud and disruptive. Sound levels were noticeably different between different speakers.

    Content was interesting though a bit anodyne. Questions from the audience did not produce much additional enlightenment.

  • Too quiet

    The content is great but this podcast would be so much better if I could listen to it while commuting. Unfortunately the voices are just too quiet even on full volume. Please increase the sound levels.
