Customer Reviews
Wonderful Podcast
A very well done podcast on history and people (and jobs!) in mathematics. Professionally produced. This podcast shows that there is much more to maths than cold equations. Rather, mathematics is a distinctly human endeavour and each podcast is a human interest story. Keep up the great work!
OK content, bad presenting
This is a podcast I just can't bear listening to. The content is fine, not amazing but interesting. However, the audio quality is most times terrible. I have to turn my volume way up to listen to what someone is saying, and then suddenly a second voice will come exploding my ear drums, because there is no audio equalizing. There's some bad quality recording, too, and no appearent treatment, so even with the volume on max, it's sometimes very, very hard to understand what someone is saying.
