  • With Dan - 5 stars. Without - 1 star.

    Just tune out until Dan gets back.

    Killing a lot of brain cells listening to Amy and whatever lame guest host she can drag in for the day or week. Luckily boredom almost immediately sets in and I can change the channel.

  • Volume issue persists

    Great show but hosts and guests need to speak at a constant volume. Do they teach mumbling in broadcast school? Please fix this.

  • Audio, level of hosts is much too quiet

    Of course the show itself is extremely insightful and I listen as much as I can in the morning, hoping to catch the rest with the podcast. The only problem is that the volume level of the hosts is much, much too quiet to hear clearly. In the old days I would have hooked the podcast up to an amp and added a limiter to the chain, because the rest of the audio is, to varying degrees, louder. PLEASE fix this issue, seems simple enough to remedy!
