  • Uninteresting people, with a less than interesting podcast

    A lot of “you went to that college? So did I” type banter. No one cares. Often leads to “you had that professor? So did I! Does he still teach there?”

    Occasionally they’ll get into golf topics, but … the sound engineering is horrific! Sounds like they’re recoding a three way conference calls with 5 people using an iPhone 5. In a bathroom. As good as other golf digest podcasts are (Golf IQ as an example) someone at GD needs to listen to this and make some changes.

    The ugly:

    It is apparent that they don’t have an engineer but can they get microphones that sound professional? One person continually sounds if they are recording in their bathroom or speaking through a towel. Do they listen ... more
