  • Poor sound

    LSE podcasts often include relevant experts covering interesting topics. However LSEs podcasts are purely produced. Its (perhaps) ok that they’re basically unedited meetings, but it is not ok that the recordings are of poor sound quality. You can’t hear what is said. It amateurish!
