  • Use microphones!

    I gave this 5 stars to support CLTFC pods, but for the love of all that is holy, listen to your published audio. The quality is trash. Get a microphone to plug into your refurbished laptops! You’re making the club look bad.

    But, good show. Keep at it!

    Used to really enjoy listening to both of you, but it’s getting tough. The negativity is really starting to get to me. Please bring back the good vibes and positivity.
