  • Poor audio quality

    The latest episode was on a subject I was really interested in learning more about, a systematic review of advanced practice PT’s in an emergency department. However, the audio quality suggests both the interviewer and guest seemed to be recording this interview via a cell phone call on speaker phone with poor connectivity. The result was an interview that was hardly understandable. Please invest in quality recording equipment and a sound engineer to really make the most of this podcast.

  • Poor audio quality

    I was super excited for the latest podcast addressing bridging the gap between rehab and performance but the audio made it really hard to listen to. You could barely understand what the interviewer was saying and often the interviewe missed the question because he misunderstood it. Fix the technical difficulties and it could be a great podcast.
