“I've listened to several episodes of this podcast, and some were quite fine. I have several problems with this podcast, however. First, there is a decided lack of consistency. It seems like they often just record the programming that is put on at the library and call it a podcast. The result is a mishmash of panel discussions, interviews, etc. with no consistent voices or points of view or progression in topics. One episode featured a speaker who was clearly referring to things that the live audience could see but that was not available to the podcast audience. Second, with episodes often going well in excess of an hour in length, it is not practical to listen in one sitting. Maybe that is some people's preference, but not mine. Third, and most important, the whole thing has an unprofessional feel. In more than half of the episodes I have listened to or attempted to listen to, the podcast suffered from either poor sound quality, weird and distracting verbal ticks from the presenters, uncomfortably long dead air, or some other thing detracting from the listenability. The worst of these was the episode on Emmitt Till. I was really looking forward to this episode because it is a fascinating subject that I do not know enough about. The inescapable smacking sound coming from the presenter every few seconds rendered it utterly unlistenable.”Read full review »

If I missed a live broadcast (i.e. Steinem w/Roberta Kaplan, Esq., Eve Ensler, or Timberland in Harlem at the Schomburg 11/17/15); I have the luxury of regrouping my time and search for the outstanding Podcast...”Read full review »
