Would be better with visuals of the blackboard

The lectures are brilliant. Only downside is that a couple are very hard to follow without the visuals Feynman was drawing on the board. Also the audio in the first is hard to make out.

Only 6 Lectures!

Interested listeners of all ages and educational backgrounds will be able to follow along and be left wanting more. Sound quality isn’t an issue.

Brilliance married in first lecture poor recording

Feynman is incomparable in his brilliance as a teacher. This Audible version is marred by the bad recording quality of the first lecture and the lack of graphics
