Generally, this podcast makes a classic university mistake of having someone sit in the middle of the crowd to hold up the microphone. The speaker sounds far away and the echoes are distracting.

There’s a high pitch whining sound throughout the David D’Avray lecture. It was annoying throughout but afterwards my ears hurt and now I have a high pitched ringing in my ears that won’t go away. The hosts of this podcast should pull that episode and others like it to avoid causing HEARING LOSS. Really hope my hearing recovers. No podcast is worth this.

Good content but unfortunately it is difficult to listen to due to the extremely poor sound quality.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
