  1. Thanks for this inspiring podcast. I think the relaxed conversational format worked ok on this podcast, although sometimes that could be taken a bit too far.

    Having said that, I do have a problem with the sound quality.

    The sound quality of this podcast is not good enough for me. The microphone sounds to be too far away or not faceing the person talking ( or the person not facing the mic ).

    I have some problems relating to that;

    I am unfamiliar with the specific vocabulary and content of his message
    English is not my first language ( and the person’s dialect is not familiar to me )
    I am listening to it in a room with it´s own acoustics so having “2 rooms” makes it more unclear to me.

A person trying the hear something new will have less comprehension and probably a less positive opinion of what the speaker is saying.

    The importance of the message got me to listen all the way through but left me a bit frustrated.
