Customer Reviews
Good content, bad audio
Edit: 8/4/20
The quality was much better this episode!
Previous comment:
He has great content, not the best speaker but not horrible as others mentioned. The audio quality is what gets me, there’s so many decent USB mics for a podcast that sound better than this, it’s as if he’s recording on his phone. Today’s episode really got me, I couldn’t even focus because I could hear people (assuming kids & wife) and birds in the background. I’m all for comfortable WFH situations but if you’re going to be recording such a short podcast, at least hide in the bathroom for 5mins to record (plenty great albums were recorded with bathroom acoustics).
Used To Enjoy
I’ve been listening to theses reports for some time and enjoyed them. Except, recently, I’ve noticed the sudden commercial interruption during the segment. Is this really necessary? The segments run 20 minutes at most. There are enough ads at the start and the end. Squeezing in two or three additional ads are an unnecessary distraction and forcing me to consider inscribing for all the Wired podcasts.
Boring bot reading a script
This is just a voice actor reading an article. Dry and boring with no lively commentary or color.
