  • Fascinating topic but needs work

    I’m fascinated by a lot of what’s discussed but the constant UMMMM UHHH UHHs and “likes” make it very hard to listen to. If you tighten up the delivery it would help a lot.

  • Needs sound mixing and editing

    Good content but please invest some efforts into sound mixing. It is excruciating to listen to this in the car, where the host is mixed so much louder than the guests. I constantly have to ride the volume while listening. Also, please edit out the “ums” - it’s unbelievable how this got past a committee or the producers. But great work overall and important work!

  • Great analysis, bad quality

    I love listening to this podcast for its insights, but I always brace myself going into an episode because 1) the audio quality is very bad and is either too quiet or fluctuates between loud and quiet, and 2) it desperately needs editing to get rid of the wild amount of time spent listening to filler words “um, you know, uh,” etc.
