I like a good lecture given by a strong and authoritative speaker. I even like to listen to lectures on the radio, on my ipod and in the car. I also know that I am weird. The overwhelming majority of lectures, even very good ones like this, make bad radio.
Clifford Gaddy is an economist who knows Russia and is an excellent speaker and he deserves a hearing.
If I were reviewing a lecture series for sale or for mp3 download, I would give this 5 stars. For direct broadcast, I recommend this only to University based stations for whom this might have a built in academic audience of future economists and/or Slavisticians.
