  • Production value

    Please invest in better microphones. I realize you are all print people but sound quality matters or you will lose listeners.

  • Great show, still work to be done production

    I like the show very much but the production unevenness detracts. Keep working on balancing the volumes of the clips or speakers so they are more even, instead of too quiet and then too loud. Often times the audio clips of the players after the games is hard to understand unless I turn up the volume greatly. Even the reporters mixes are uneven. Great content, overall a very fun podcast that I’ll keep listening too, just want a more even listening experience
