  • Audio quality

    There are some extremely interesting episodes here. It’s a shame the audio quality is so substandard. Some appear to be recordings with more than one participant on the phone and background noise from the open lines make it a struggle to follow. Studio versions would’ve been excellent. Oh well.

  • Good stories, rough presentation

    Jay is a good person. Audio sounds as if it was recorded on a potato. Jay typically doesn’t introduce guests or let them introduce themselves, so episodes with multiple guests may challenge you to determine who is speaking.
