A general collection, not a single teacher
"iTorah - general" is best understood as a label over a mixed collection of Torah recordings, not the work of one individual speaker. The "general" in the name is the tell: this is an assortment, a place where classes that do not belong to a single series or teacher are gathered together. Approaching it with that expectation is the right way to use it.
That has a real upside. A general collection tends to be broad rather than narrow, which means a listener browsing it may come across a range of subjects and voices in one place. It is less like following one maggid shiur from week to week and more like a shelf holding many different classes, each standing on its own.
Finding what is worth your time
With a broad, mixed collection, the useful skill is choosing well. Rather than trying to work through everything, a listener is better served by searching for a specific subject, teacher, or occasion and letting the collection surface what fits. Used that way, the very breadth that could feel scattered becomes an advantage - there is a good chance something relevant is in there.
For a family, a general library can be a place to find a class for a particular moment - a coming holiday, a topic that came up at the table, a question a child asked. Because the material is assorted, it rewards a clear intention going in. Know what you are looking for, and a wide collection turns from a jumble into a resource.
