Customer Reviews
Want What You Get; Get What You Want
I think the fundamental of any chat, whether it be with one's friend or strictly as an outsider for a podcast, is two-fold: content, and delivery. Whether you had previously heard of Monocle Magazine or not (I had not) you cannot discount the wide spectrum of intriguing content delivered by The Monocle Weekly. From there, the players, led by Tyler Brule, are articulate, witty, involved, and fast-paced. One gets the sense that if one had a manner through which to add one's thoughts in the conversation, the gang would listen with welcome ears. A great subscription. 'Very pleased to have found this. Oh, and I really dig the music in between subjects!
Bigger not necessarily better
The switch to Monocle 24 has unfortunately lowered the audio quality on this show as well as all the other Monocle 24 shows. The Weekly is still a must-listen, but listening is a bit of a strain. Hopefully the engineers in Midori House can get it together so these podcasts don't sound so amateur.
New format
Monocle Weekly has changed to Monocle 24 and in doing so the format has gone from 1 hour to 2 hours. Is more better? I enjoyed the hour format as it edited down news and culture to the perfect weekly size. The doubled size at 2 hours is too long and I find myself unsuccessfully skipping segments.
