  • Great podcast... Poor sound

    The quality of the sound is poor making it difficult to listen to.

  • Audio quality severely limits usefulness

    I can’t make out more than a couple words per sentence because of the audio quality. Cochrane is, like, the titular institution for ultimate-quality systematic review of biomedical literature, yet its AV team is cool with system input-level recording quality?

  • Poor sound quality and often incomprehensible english

    Cochrane Review does a great job in accessing evidence-based truth in medical research and podcasts are a great way of for time-poor people to keep in touch. However their good work is often ruined by poor sound quality and incomprehensible spoken English. I applaud diversity but.......
