Philosophy fan 378 ,

Very good, but let the guests finish their thoughts

These are great conversations, but sometimes the moderator will ask the speaker to get back on track in a way that deprives audiences of the full thought. This is particularly frustrating when sophisticated speakers make comments that ultimately loop back around to the main point. Let people finish! Many of the best points would have been missed had the speakers heeded the moderator’s demands.

Anamist ,

“Get over your, limited, self.”

Glad for Rupert Sheldrake adding a voice to these science programs.

Runner listener ,

Sound volume is too low

Hard to hear in outside.
