  • Guests sound quality

    As an ed-tech professional I really appreciate what you do and the good of though you provide. But what a torture it is sometimes to listen to your guest in terms of sound quality. Talking from AirPods, straight to the laptop mic, or whatnot, it’s hard to understand what they are saying sometimes. Maybe you could ask them to record a separate audio file to their iPhone. Even that would probably be better than AirPods
