  • Bob Vylan is a hero

  • Great content, terrible sound.

    These guys have great insights and stories. Genuinely interesting fellas. But please sort the sound out. Levels are all over the shop and one sounds like they are in an echo chamber. Can barely hear it sometimes on full volume. Just buy a cheap blue yeti and run it through a levelator. Sorted
