I'm joined by Lachlan Fennen of the YouTube channel Passion for Sound to discuss conflicts of audio in audio reviews. What is a conflict of interest? How is it different than a bias? What are some sources of conflicts of interest? How much of a problem are they really? How can reviewers navigate them? All this and more discussed within!
