Please fix the volume... Commercials are ridiculously loud if I turn it up.. if I don't turn it up I can't hear the people talking at all
Unfortunately the interesting subjects and the stories are sacrificed to create a long, boring infomercial for Sotheby’s. This is not at the level of Intelligence Squared .
The debates were awesome and hard to find similarly good content. Current episodes are very hit and miss and are the same as all the other shows. Bring back the old debate format!! Please
Some great topics are chosen for discussion but then this is let down by the atrocious recording quality. Which is unusual for such a professional media outlet. Both the one-to-one recordings and the group discussion infront of an audience sound like they are recorded on a 1980s cassette tape put infront of the TV speaker.
You're not serious. That wasn't a question.
