Customer Reviews
Great content- hard to hear
The content provided on this podcast is great!
The only issue I have is that the audio is not in stereo. Having one voice on the left and one voice on the right is difficult to listen to. This is made worse if you have any hearing loss in one ear or the other. Once this is fixed it will be easily be a 5 star podcast!
Great content
The topic selection has been spot on. I like that the length of the podcasts are just right- short enough to listen while I'm doing other tasks and long enough to provide depth on the topic of the day.
I'll echo some of the other comments about hearing the featured guest - the sound quality could be improved.
Please, stop interrupting guests
This is a very informative podcast for safety professionals, covering very relevant topics. Unfortunately, it is unlistenable for me due to Scott not allowing his guests to speak without interrupting with “mhmm”, “okay”, or “right”, every 20 seconds. There is no need to interrupt the expert you have invited to your podcast after every point they suggest.
