  • Too long in low quality

    The episodes are too long. If you really need so much time and don’t want too edit, make it a part 1 and part 2 a week later. But the audio quality is what made stop listening. It’s boomy and to dull, I can’t hear what you guys are saying in the car. Just compare yourself which What Went Wrong.
