Great for Info, But Needs to Slow Down
I listen to these CFR podcasts to be informed about foreign affairs, and these podcasts generally are good for that. My issue with them, though, is technical.

If the pace of the show is at normal conversational level, I would give the podcasts five stars instead of four.
