Really useful podcast covering policy developments in my industry, but the host needs to slow down, he speaks almost incomprehensibly fast.
It is so easy to keep up with what’s going on in HE with this across-the-board, unbiased, insightful reporting.
This is an interesting and informative podcast however the production really lets it down. Volume levels are all over the shop and the background music is usually way too loud leaving it unpleasant to listen to. Hopefully this can be sorted!
The production of this series is significantly better than the first. Sharp, snappy and an essential listen for anyone involved in higher education.
Great concise overview of the week.
Fun tone, great host.
