I’ve tried to listen to episodes but the presenters’ voices sounded fuzzy and muffled. . At first I thought I just couldn’t understand their British accents. Then maybe the muffled tone was a result of the poor audio quality of my iPhone7. But after reading other reviews of this podcast I discovered it wasn’t me or my iPhone, it was the poor production values of The Guardian. I hope The G can fix their muddled audio problem!

I listenend to maybe 6 or 7 episodes of this, really tried to give it a chance, but could not stand it. The neuroscientist of the title comes across as smug, arrogant and dismissive. What's worse is that he explains very little. He seems to have very little regard for the ideas or knowledge of guest specialists unless he knew or believed it in advance.His approach to guests is solely to satisfy his own (feigned?) curiosity - he doesn't bother to ask about things the listener might want to know. Finally, his foil in all this is supposedly the show's producer, whose role is to play an idiot who wishes he wasn't there and "blimey, guv'nor! Who'da thought that, then?!" The overall feel is that nobody at the Guardian cares much about podcasts - they just do it because they're told to.

I tried to listen to 5 episodes; the few things I could hear made me want more, but the annoying sound effects drowned out the speakers
