  • Great information but audio is subpar

    Audio is often muted, making it difficult to hear clearly so I have stopped listening which is unfortunate because there is a lot to learn with this podcast.

    Wonderful resource for those who are suffering from concussions and TBIs. Nick (moderator) is sometimes hard to understand (due to his injuries) but has come a long way in his recovery and I am grateful that he has started such a wonderful resource with excellent quality guests who are very informative on the topic.
