Waste of time
Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. Does the audio quality of the guest on show (if any) also meet this criteria? 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. If guest’s audio is not at least on par with host’s, gets a 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uums and uuhs, deviation from point, fluff or superfluous info, and general elocution. About 99% emphasis on audio quality. I use podcast Money Matters with Ken Moraif as 100% standard of AUDIO SOUND QUALITY ONLY, that gets 5 out of 5 rating. Criteria for content: how is this info unique and different from what I can glean from a google search? What advantage can I gain that I can’t from google search? If info is unique & helps elucidate complex and esoteric ideas, gets 5 out of 5. If info is stuff that can be pretty much read off google searches, gets 0 out of 5. I place 1% emphasis on content (good info is useless if can’t be heard or understood). Audio for this podcast is 1⁄5. Audio I not loud enough to hear for passive listening while doing other things. Have to stop all other activities and strain to hear. Host can be louder. Guests audio is terrible. Even worse than host’s, but that changes based on where the guest is communicating from; not my concern, they should fix the end result. Content rating: 1 out of 5. Podcast is about an hr. Crux of the matter, and the pertinent scientific info is suddenly, and quickly thrown at the end 20 mins or so, and sneaks up on you suddenly. I wish the entire podcast would be about that last 20 mins of info flung casually and flippantly. I appreciate the host explaining certain terms and ideas on the side, but need more of that! I generously give 1/5 for that. The beginning of the show is major fluff info, interlarded with long background stories to evoke pathos and interest, that very gradually leads up to the science part at the end. I’d watch soap operas if I was inclined to hear such fluff. In general: I wouldn’t waste my time on this podcast. If you are inclined to listen to it, I recommend you scroll through the fist 40 mins of dross, or listen at 2x speed.

I liked getting the information regarding the coronavirus. As a mother, it helps to put the information into perspective on what to expect as this outbreak progresses.
