Check the audio and quality of recording mates!!! Some episodes are barely audible
Interesting topics and excellent guests. Two issues that could be addressed: (1) as others have said the sound quality is generally poor, and (2) the host talks too much — almost a monologue leading up to every question. I would like to hear more from the guests and less from the host.
The content in this podcast series is great, but the recorded sound quality of some guest speaker voices is uneven which makes them hard to understand. Guest speaker voice content should be normalized and equalized to match the quality of the host, whose voice is easy to hear and to understand throughout the entire podcast series.
Jon has a deep and varied knowledge of economics which allows him to draw out interesting thoughts from his well curated line up of top-tier guests.
A highly informative podcast for anyone interested not just in economics but politics, IR, law, or just about anything. Jon is a wonderful host and has a talent for making an increasingly complex economic environment extremely easy to follow. Count me in as a regular listener!
