Prof. Porky Pig Teaches Jazz
I’m a big jazz fan, and was excited about this course until I started listening to it.  Unfortunately, the lecturer is so bad at public speaking that I actually pity any students trapped in the room with him.  Stammering, stuttering, false starts, backtracking and repetitions, punctuated constantly by “uhhhh” and “errrrr.”  The content isn’t bad (though it’s hardly revelatory, and leans too heavily on anecdotes) but I don’t think I can get through another listening session from start to finish without screaming.
