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!
