Terrible production undermines great content

“I am dismayed that Nature has put out a podcast that features diverse voices, but then fails to bring the production quality to a baseline minimum professional level. It tells me that diverse voices, in this case the voices of Disabled scientists, are not actually valued at Nature. Long gaps, awkward cuts, and a ongoing pattern of poor production reveal that these podcasts are not reviewed by an editor before release. Is would be MUCH better to release decent-quality podcasts on the timeline afforded by the resources available rather than to release shoddy work. If I submitted these podcasts as part of a research paper, Nature would rightfully reject them due to lack of polish. I love listening to the voices featured, but every time there is a random 10 second gap between clips, that voice is being devalued. Production quality is holding this podcast back. Hire a competent intern, or better yet, permit the existing Nature podcast professionals to commit the extra hour it would take to remove the awkward gaps. I just want to enjoy the podcast without feeling sad.”

Other times you can’t hear the guest without turning the volume all the way up which you immediately regret when the host starts talking again. It doesn’t seem like the host or anyone at Nature or anyone involved with...”Read full review »
