Italy4 months ago - Potential for 5 stars
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.

United Statesa year ago - Sound quality could be improved
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.
