revisiting Dark Karma

Customer Reviews
Fantastic podcast
Tech, philisophy, fiction, social commentary and tons more... All in an engaging and inspiring mix.
Bad sound-quality
The sound is really amateurish... sounds are highly compressed and at times, the speak is badly leveled towards to the background sounds/music, which makes it hard to understand the speaker... all sound is mono only..
If weren’t for the bad sound quality, I would have have rated it much, much higher!
Top nice podcast
This podcast never completely makes sense to me, which might be why it doesn't becomes boring to me. One of my absolute favorite.
