Unfortunately, the very poor, hollow, heavy treble and changing volume or recording levels really detract from this otherwise important podcast. Things as simple as filtering out ambient noises and/or coaching hosts and guests to avoid distracting noises such as the clicking of a pen or crackling of paper, are neglected and make the episodes difficult or impossible to listen to. The lack of professionalism in terms of audio craft is a pity given the valuable content that will be missed as a re... more
I am almost 70 years old…I have a want to go against this regime before it becomes too colossal! I really have a feeling that I can’t sit by and allow this country suffer, what I think is Catastrophic consequences…my heart is burning with agony. I’m usually a positive thinking person. But when our voting rights could be our own demise! I spent time in the military in the 70’s. I have a lot of respect for our constitution. Why do we need an American president who committed crimes. And how did we ... more
I’m a social work student wanting to learn more about the various roles and opportunities in the field. The professionals being interviewed are great but the constant stream of “ums”, “uhs”, and “likes” from the guy doing the interviews is very distracting and grating to hear. Honestly, it’s just about impossible to listen too. I’ve scrolled back to see years of this feedback. How has this not been addressed? With such a large organization surely there is a more professional person available to ... more
I just finished listening to Ep. 115. The information shared was fantastic and is definitely missing in my formal education. I am very appreciative of the guest speaker’s transparency and willingness to share her personal and professional experiences.
However, the interviewers use of filler words was quite distracting. In one question, he said “um” every two words. I can understand he may have been nervous or maybe did not have a lot of time with the questions. Otherwise, he asked great questio... more
I wish episodes were more than an author appearing to promote their latest book. With the vast membership base that NASW must have, it would be much more interesting to hear from a variety of guests from different backgrounds and types of practice. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when NASW is an organization that seems to focus more on selling its products than being of service to its members.
