There is no video
I watch other video podcasts, including ones by Ted Talks, and they work. This show just appears to not actually have any video served with the audio. Would change back to 5 stars if not for missing video.

Good content but why the music?
I don’t know why some of the TED audio podcasts feel the need to have random background music - which sometimes feels somewhat incongruous to the content that it is accompanying. You have some good short pieces but you should really stop putting a music track onto it when the person is talking. It’s one thing when music is added to narrative fiction podcasts but it feels very out of place on your fact-based show.

NFT episode isn’t great
The episode about NFTs doesn’t really address the criticism against NFTs in any meaningful capacity. They don’t talk about how many artists have had NFTs made of their content without their knowledge or consent. They don’t talk about how many people have lost access to the images tied to their NFTs. They don’t talk about the energy consumption of crypto mining. I was expecting them to actually talk about the specific technological details of how NFTs and blockchain technology work, but it sounds more like an advertisement disguised as a podcast episode. “Folding Ideas” on YouTube has a great video about NFTs.

Nix on episodes 4,5 and 8
Episodes 4 and 5 - hard sell of controversial products and Vocal Fry; totally ugh! Episode 8 seemed questionable research. The rest of the episodes are really worth listening to.

sounds good
From what i've heard, it sounds cool, but for some reason it won't play on my ipod classic. It doesn't even show how long each episode is till i've downloaded it all the way. Maybe it won't work for my classic because it isn't formatted for it, but that hasn't stopped me from watching other podcasts that aren't specifically formatted for the classic.

- Exploring how we think: Mind, Body, Spirit - Part 1 | TED Radio HourFor millennia, humans have debated the mind, body, spirit connection. But today, the phrase sounds trite -- a hallmark of the #selfcare industry. We need fresh perspectives on how we think, move, and feel. Physician and entrepreneur Tom Oxley asks: what if you could control a device, not with your hand, but with your mind? Tune in to hear about the implantable brain-computer interface that could revolutionize the way we communicate. This is part of an episode of the TED Radio Hour with NPR, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective. For more of this episode, the rest of the Mind, Body, Spirit series, and more find and follow the TED Radio Hour wherever you’re listening to this.0 comments0

Explore the limitations of artificial intelligence and the possibility of creating human-compatible technology. This TED-Ed lesson was directed by Christoph Sarow, AIM Creative Studios and narrated by George Zaidan and Stuart Russell, music by André Aires.0 comments0

This week, the TED Audio Collective is releasing a bunch of great episodes about sports, in celebration of the launch of a new podcast: Good Sport with Jody Avirgan. It’s a show that takes sports seriously, as the best way to understand humans and our world. Check it out wherever you’re listening to this.0 comments0

- Meet the world's largest machine | Henry RichardsonIn 1967, Homer Loutzenheuser flipped a switch and connected the power grids of the United States, forming one interconnected machine. Today, the US power grid is the world's largest machine, containing more than 7,300 electricity-generating plants. So how exactly do these power plants work? Henry Richardson digs into the delicate balancing act of how power grids supply us energy. This TED-Ed lesson was directed by Anna Benner, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott and the music by Raphael Tschernuth.0 comments0
- 4 ways to design a disability-friendly future | Meghan HusseyNearly fifteen percent of the world's population lives with a disability, yet this massive chunk of humanity is still routinely excluded from opportunities. Sharing her experience growing up with an autistic sister, disability inclusion advocate Meghan Hussey illuminates the path towards an inclusive future in four steps, and it starts with an attitude check on assumptions and stereotypes. Designing a world built for everyone is not a "nice to have," Hussey says -- it's critical to the fabric of society. After the talk, Sherrell expands upon how tech that's designed with disability in mind can make for a more thoughtful world.0 comments0
- How gaming can be a force for good | Noah RafordIf you think social media is powerful, keep an eye on immersive video games, says futurist Noah Raford. As more and more people are drawn into gaming and virtual worlds, the communities they forge are spawning real-world social movements. Raford urges us to recognize what's really going on -- and then harness those forces to build the future we want. After the talk, our host Sherrell paints a picture of how physical spaces could be shaped by augmented reality.0 comments0
- A bold plan to transform access to the US social safety net | Amanda RenteriaThis week on TED Tech we are revisiting a talk by digital public servant Amanda Renteria. Millions of people who rely on government welfare services are often discouraged from seeking them out, frustrated by long lines and unnecessarily complicated processes. At Code for America, Renteria is helping develop human-centered technology that "respects you from the start, meets you where you are and provides an easy, positive experience." She details the four factors that hinder effective delivery of government benefits and explains Code for America's plan to bring user-centric, digital-first social services to more than 13 million Americans and unlock 30 billion dollars in benefits for low-income families. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)0 comments0
- TED Tech Dec 23 · 27m Real social media solutions, with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen | Your Undivided AttentionWhen it comes to social media risk, there is reason to hope for consensus. Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris recently helped launch a new initiative called the Council for Responsible Social Media (CRSM) in Washington, D.C.

This is an episode of Your Undivided Attention, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective. For more episodes, follow the podcast wherever you're listening to this.0 comments0
- The shift we need to stop mass surveillance | Albert Fox CahnMass surveillance is worse than you think, but the solutions are simpler than you realize, says lawyer, technologist and TED Fellow Albert Fox Cahn.
