The echo makes the podcast very unpleasant to listen to, even though the analysis is excellent.
very one sided and obviously partisan review.
would be nice if you could include both sides of the arguments and give a chance to both conservatives
Let down by inexperienced interviewers
The quality of production is so very poor. The sound is so bad that it is not possible to listen to this podcast unless you are in a library with the sound on max and noise cancelling headphones. Such a shame because the conversations promise much but delivery is absent. Is it a problem of lack of finance to support this podcast?
The content is barely audible at maximum volume in a perfectly quiet environment, even with Bose noise-canceling earphones!
