  • DANGER

    There’s a high pitch whining sound throughout the David D’Avray lecture.

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.

  • Impressive but arcane

    Abstract and very academic, the selection of speakers is impressive but the sound quality of the recordings is often poor.
