I love these guys and what they do for the part of the industry that I work in. However I often listen to podcasts while in the gym. It is always a struggle to hear what is being said even with noise canceling earbuds. I even made a custom equaliser to boost voice volume and still can only just hear it. I don’t have this issue with any other podcasts so please guys boost the volume a bit as we can always turn it down a bit!
You can tell that the show is hosted by working professionals that understand the industry and can discuss it from various perspectives. I am glad I gave it a listen while mowing the lawn. I am now a regular subscriber. I highly recommend it!
