Good content, terrible sound mixing.
The Monocle Weekly is a fine audio summary of what the editors at Monocle have worked on from issue to issue as well as current global events with some commentary and humor. The speaking parts are dotted with contemporary music from global artists that may or may not be considered "pop". My only complaint is that the audio mixing is horrendous. Often, the speaking parts are soft and at times, distant sounding, then all of a sudden if someone makes a funny comment the editors will have a laugh that suddenly spikes the audio super loud. Listening to the podcast with quality earbuds in public usually means my volume is turned up so I can hear what the editors are saying then I end up going deaf because of the really loud parts that are generally unnecessary because it's usually just laughing.Read full review »
