  • Audio is awful

    Production values are low, which is compatible with Jay Horwitz’s persona, but there comes a point where the lack of production value and absolutely unlistenable audio reflects poorly on the Mets organization. Kiner’s Korner in the 70s never had audio quality this bad. Also, find some kind of jingle or Mets highlight as an intro and try not to have commercials interrupt interviews mid-sentence!

    Please adjust your audio. Advertising comes across strong, conversations are low.
