  • Great topics, appalling audio

    This series has some fantastic topics, discussed by brilliant minds, but so often the audio quality of the podcasts is so poor they are difficult to impossible to hear. So disappointing!

  • Sydney Ideas / audio quality

    I'm a keen listener to your podcasts but the audio is often problematic e.g. Speakers different voice volume and capture/poor capture by the microphone but mainly the absence of a roving microphone to catch the discussion with the audience. Hearing the audience questions and responses are important to these fine discussions. A bit of technical help would earn six stars. Thank you.
