Terrible sound quality

I want to listen to this podcast but the sound quality is so bad that I get too frustrated to continue. I really wanted to hear the author of the book about university brainwashing but….!!! Thus 4 stars instead of 5

She Knows

It’s amazing that someone in her situation can know so much about those of us who are in the Workforce! Please thank her for courage and spunky zeal in dealing with what is obvious truth !

Right-wing rag

First Things, which began as a thought-provoking, well-reasoned journal, sold its soul to Trump (as many religious groups have). This podcast sounds like right-wing talk radio. I miss what First Things once stood for.
