    Great content needs great equipment
    Really interesting and insightful conversations but the quality of people calling in is very poor. It is sometimes very hard to follow along because of that.

    The Cold War, a world history
    Doesn’t anyone listen to this podcast before you post them? The sound quality was horrible. The subject matter was interesting enough to keep me listening until I couldn’t stand to listen any longer. The interviewer sounded like he was in an echo chamber and the interviewee sounded like he was on a cell phone that kept going in and out of range. It sounds so amateur it’s hard to take you guys seriously. Try having a little pride in the quality of what you do. Perhaps your podcast would be more successful and you would even attract donations

    Audio Problems
    I really want to like this podcast but the audio , especially the guests' is horrible. Tinny sound with screeches
  • SBSKI
    Excellent
    Really enjoy the podcasts. I think that they do a great job of finding the most interesting books/authors and asking them important questions. Very much addicted to this podcast.
  • AVNoble
    Fascinating material.
    I get quickly immersed in the discussions within. Audio quality could use some work. Otherwise a perfect podcast. Thanks, Andre Noble
