    Bad audio, good talks
    I very much enjoy listening to these talks but it is very difficult at times to focus on what is being said. There is a lot of white noise in every recording and the room is echoing too. It also sounds like the speaker is not near the microphone, or that the microphone is not well placed for it’s directionality. If these issues are fixed it will be so much easier to receive the teachings on offer here. I’m very grateful for these talks regardless of the bad audio. Thank you!
