“Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. Does the audio quality of the guest on show (if any) also meet this criteria? 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. If guest’s audio is not at least on par with host’s, gets a 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uums and uuhs, deviation from point, fluff or superfluous info, 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 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 2⁄5. Lady host’s audio is clear, loud, and sonorous; can be heard while multitasking. Kim Khan or something ruins it. I call him Mumbles. Can’t project his voice loud and clear, sounds unsure, lacks confidence. Sometimes he’s a guest on show and the difference between his audio and the host’s is very apparent. Why should that be with 21st century technology? Shame on them! Indicates to me they’re incompetent, lack integrity, and do not care for listeners; only there to gain profit from sponsors.
Content rating: 0 out of 5. Although they share topical info, it’s hard to hear it, so what’s the point?
In general: I’d only listen if I had time to set aside and devote to this podcast to hold the phone close to ears like a little transistor radio from Olsen days. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of undecipherable mumbling. Definitely not for multitasking.”
