Good, but...
really hard to hear! If I was going to use it on the smartboard or in a presentation, that might work better, but to listen as a podcast or on my computer---I had the volume up to 100 (when its normally at 30!). The entire series is like this, I'm very disappointed as it has really good information, but I just cant use it.
