Australia25 days ago - I'm probably going to be a former listener soon
Schneider's high dynamic range Bro Yodel is becoming a deal-breaker. I disovered this podcast only recently, and I see it goes back a few years, so it's unlikely the host is going to wake up and take some voice coaching. The content isn't bad, and is growing more "salient" (the Word of the Day for the 8/24 episode); it's just too bad the general tone is so unserious. The show doesn't need polish or production values -- it needs the participants to speak properly.
