Customer Reviews
love it since 2018
When I was an ordinary college student, I want to practice my English skills, someone at quora recommended this podcast, then I got a lot from this program. Now is 2022, 4 years later, although I didn’t listen to it everyday, it is still useful for me. And I’m going to learning in Canada in September, as a student whose native language is not English, I think I will love it forever.
Could be better
I finally unsubscribed to this podcast after many years. Very poor audio engineering. Guest audio is often too soft or outright unintelligible - some of that stems from choosing to have foreign guests with a heavy accent talk. Also too much liberal bias. It's gotten better since a certain someone has left office but you still hear left wing claims being made without counterpoints offered.
