This podcast is great for me to fall asleep to. None of the episodes are interesting and the audio is bad so I’m never focusing on the words. Five minutes and I’m out like a light.

I've listened to just 4 podcasts and find them very difficult to follow. The content is interesting and informative however the experts delivery is poor. They are trying to cram too much information into the segment, talk far too quickly and do not take time to reinforce or recap on critical points.
