- Useful but host needs to slow down
Really useful podcast covering policy developments in my industry, but the host needs to slow down, he speaks almost incomprehensibly fast.

United Kingdom2 years ago - All policy areas should be wonkified
It is so easy to keep up with what’s going on in HE with this across-the-board, unbiased, insightful reporting.
Apple Podcasts5ItisnotpossibleUnited Kingdom6 years ago - Good content..poor production
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!
