I always love listening to VDH. I wish they had made a better recording though.
The sound quality for this episode of the podcast makes it almost unlistenable. If it were anyone other than Prof. Hanson, I would not have continued past the first five minutes.
It was painful trying to listen–almost as if someone’s cat was nuzzling up against the microphone.
We’re aware of the terrible audio and are looking to see if we can find an alternate version of it.
The sad thing about this audio is that the questioners at the end sounded clear and strong, yet VDH’s answers…well they were as bad a sound quality as was the previous podcast audio. Peter’s mike was just fine. I was thinking Mr Hanson must have been fidgeting or something.
I just turned the audio up on my computer so I could hear VDH. He’s a fabulous inspiration and well worth listening to even in a noisy room with bad acoustics. Thank you so very much for this podcast Peter. How I wish we could have Peter in charge of White House communications and VDH Secretary of State!! Perfection.
I had to get earbuds for part of it, but big deal. The overall value proposition at Ricochet is just fine.
My one request is if this place is going to have a million-zillion podcasts, they need to get one by an Austrian economist or two. The FEE guys would be great.
Also, listen to Problematic Women. Excellent.
