audio deficits make this a miserable experience.

[@AxmxZ]

What the hell is happening to the sound?

[@malamati007]

Stopped listening because the sound was breaking up...not good in a talk where each word dropped may be of particular importance.

"No man is an island" is not from a poem. It's a piece of Donne's prose.

[@ian.mikyska.94]

Why is the sound so awful?!

[@karlstriepe8050]

Wow, pity about the sound. I was lucky enough to take a course with this guy in the early 2000s. He was a captivating speaker, as partly recorded here.

[@Laocoon283]

Audio is shot
