    Hey, has anyone ever listened to any podcasts from newstalk? Grabbed a few podcasts from the Right Hook (the technology segments) and to be honest i'm very surprised about how bad the quality actually is..

    Constantly you can hear various computer beeps and clicks, and 2 cut out before the segment finishes...

    Useless from a national station...

    I've heard that kind of crap on the todayfm ones too... its like they were recording the radio chatter onto a PC with somebody working on it. You hear outlook noises when they get emails and stuff. Very annoying.

    I'm not a big podcast person, I generally listen to the gift grub sketches and thats about it, but now and then i have gotten some like the Sunday Supplement or the last word, or the occasional comedy one (8 out of 10 cats...) and it's only the Newstalk ones that i've ever noticed a problem with... Terrible, it does sound like someone is recording it off a computer that is being used...

    Got the Footie one they do. WOW. What a pair of tits. One fella just seems to put on a stupid voice through out the whole thing while reading quotes from various Sports people. Think he reckons he's funny or something, but its actually quite cringeworthy. Do not know how anyone could listen to that more than once.
