Great!

As everything that IDEO does, this podcast is fantastic, very informative. I recommend it to anyone who seeks to grow their knowledge on key themes such as strategy, performance analytics, and creative thinking.

Valuable content but speakers talking at lightning speed

I really wanted to listen to the content as I’m really interested in these topics but the speakers in the audio were speaking SO fast. I am not sure if these episodes are sped up but the speed they were talking at was making me anxious! I had to turn it off unfortunately, which is a shame.

Great content but needs more work on audio

Great content but needs more work on audio level. The sound peaks from time to time.
