  • Consistent audio issues

    Love Vassey, but the audio issues on this podcast have been going on for years. Either fix the issue or discontinue the podcast

  • Please fix audio

    As many noted Vassy is fantastic but the very poor audio quality makes it difficult to listen to.

  • Please Fix the Audio

    Vassy is the best, as usual, but the audio makes the podcast nigh unlistenable. It sounds like Vassy is speaking into one of those children’s karaoke reverb mics inside of a trash can full of mirrors.

    The reverb and silblance is crazy, please fix this on this podcast and the main power play podcast.

  • Vassy is good; content is fine — but…

    … the audio is horrible. It sounds like interviews are conducted in a cold steel culvert under the 401 on a holiday weekend.

    Still a problem as of Ep#497. Time for a staff change?
