Customer Reviews
Good Lectures often let down by sound quality
LSE get an amazing range of speakers and subjects. Unfortunately the podcasts are often let down by poor sound quality.
Audio!
I find the content here extraordinary informative. However, it would be good for the LSE to pay more Zu attention to the quality of the audio. Especially for the podcast feed. It is 2021-22. There’s is no excuse for bad or hard to hear audio. There are many products, apps that can bring clarity and intelligibility to spoken word, even out volume differences, and make the listening experience better.
I would suggest you hire or find an expert in this field, even among your student body, and give them task of raising the standard that one might expect from sure a prestigious organisation. It should be easy, technically. So, more focus on audio quality of your output and you will likely be rewarded with more listeners and greater influence within the younger cohort that will run things in future. As is said, the content is excellent. Just do the work required in presenting a great product…
