Good content; however, the host’s audio equipment is very poor and an unfortunate distraction. It seems I am not the only one making note of this.
I like the topic and guests on this show. However, Lauren’s audio gear leaves a lot to be desired. Her sound quality is about the worst of any podcast I’ve listened to.
Today Lauren had someone pressing a pillow on her face!!! Horrible audio… please do a gofundme to buy a mic
Why are your guests talking with a pillow on their mouth?? If your guests are dialing in then All you need to do is ask them to use a wired headphone. How hard is it? Why wouldn’t you just care enough to ask them to use one??
I would really like if the Hostess would get a better microphone, it is terrible sound with her voice pitch, it is easily fixed by a quality microphone or hire a sound producer/editor
As others have said, Lauren is middlin’ but Ben is excellent. He does all of the heavy lifting. He’s candid, owns his missed picks. I really enjoy his content. I wish they did the show more than once a week.
I’ve never had the trouble with audio that others have complained about. Perhaps I’m just an old and remember the days of genuinely poor audio.
