“Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uuums and uuuuhs, deviation from point, beating around the bush, and general elocution. About 99% emphasis on audio quality. I use podcast Money Matters with Ken Moraif as 100% standard of AUDIO SOUND QUALITY ONLY, that gets 5 out of 5 rating.
Criteria for content: how is this info unique and different from what I can glean from a google search? What advantage can I gain that I can’t from google search? If info is unique & helps elucidate complex and esoteric ideas, gets 5 out of 5. If info is just stuff that can be pretty much read off google searches, gets 0 out of 5. I place 1% emphasis on content (good info is useless if can’t be heard or understood).
Audio for this podcast is 1/5. Speakers have heavy foreign accents, that are hard to understand at times. Audio is very soft and I need to strain to hear the info. Very sad with today’s technology. Very poor projection of voice. Now, there are diverse hosts on here, and my review is for the majority of them.
Content rating: 0 out of 5 because I can only decipher about 50% of what they’re saying; even less if speaker has strong accent. From what I can hear, all I hear is technical jargon without any explanations. Fine; they’re catering to people who are hip to that, but the vast majority aren’t. So, why bother listening?
In general: I wouldn’t waste my time on this podcast. Better options: Yahoo Finance (though not a podcast), Seeking Alpha, Barron’s Streetwise.”
