  • Great content/ Bad Audio

    I have been listening to these podcasts for more than ten years and learnt so much from it so I am for ever in debt to the people making this podcast. However, I can’t understand why such an elite and important institution invest so little in their recording equipment and audio engineering staff. It really undermines the power and reach of all the wonderful people that get to have a public lecture there. I am baffled that one of the most venerable university in the world neglect this aspect in t... more

  • A narrow, self-entitled, and judgmental view of the world

    Every so often—maybe once in ten episodes—someone with a different background makes an honest attempt to engage. But meaningful dialogue is not the standard intended ; instead, we get a predictable loop of pompous, self-congratulatory monologues, met with smug laughters.

    Yet, somehow, it remains oddly captivating… If you’re curious about why society feels broken, take a closer look at what’s being taught to our future leaders.

  • PLEASE FIX THE AUDIO

    This used to be my favorite podcast and it’s now become almost unbearable. The sound has never been great - poor use of mics I assume - but now there seems to be some machine being picked up by the mics or perhaps ungrounded mic cables causing an extremely distracting noise on every podcast I’ve tried to listen to lately. Listen to the Blood and Power episode, for example. Come on LSE, I know you don’t have Hollywood budgets but you must be able to sort out a few proper mics and a sound engineer... more
