Podcast Addict25 days agoRuminatingStoic- Sound Quality
Great guests and interesting topics! I’d love to listen to this podcast more but, in all honesty, I find the sound quality much too tinny and hard to enjoy over a long period of time. Is there any possibility to invest in a better recording set up?

United States2 years ago - Much Potential
The host is both knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. The topics covered, unfortunately, tend to be disappointing, in my view. Personally, I’d be more interested in hearing more about how African countries and regions are evolving. Where are the bright spots and where are the problems. Where are they politically and economically; and how should our policy change to meet their unique needs. I can go elsewhere for topics like culinary.
