Could be better
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 1⁄5. Audio I not loud enough to hear for passive listening while doing other things. Have to stop all other activities and strain to hear. Host can be louder. Guests audio is terrible. Even worse than host’s, but that changes based on where the guest is communicating from; not my concern, they should fix the end result. And what’s with all the foreign accents?! Is there a dearth of American reporters? Who knows what some of these people are saying with their heavy accents! Content rating: 2out of 5. They share topical content that if you strain to hear, is good. If you can understand the heavy accents and drop everything you’re doing just to focus and hear, may be worthwhile. They get 2/5 simply because most times I can’t understand their thick accents or can’t hear them too well. I highly encourage these people to listed to the podcast that I base my criteria on, and rectify their show accordingly. In general: listen if you can put everything else on hold to give them your undivided attention, otherwise not worth it.

Loved this Podcast for the longest time....but for a 2-3 minute Podcast to put in two ad's (same exact ones) has become increasingly annoying! I'm debating on whether or not to unsubscribe.Read full review »

Great content. But this is audio and that woman is nails on a blackboard.
