The 8/14 show with Dan, Pete, and McGee was very good and had good sound quality. Let’s try to make that a regular habit. Also, ESPN, maybe make that the normal crew and use Pat to fill in from time to time. I love Rece but this pod works better with Dan in charge. Dan is God.
What in the hell does Pete Thamel do at the end of his sentences? Like he’s sucking up spit. Makes him totally unlistenable. Love Rece Davis but my lord I can’t get passed that.
Worldwide leader my butt. Amateur podcasts with probably substandard mixing boards and equipment can do a better job than figuring out your sound levels! One minute I have to turn it up to hear anything from Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel, the next minute Rece Davis is blowing out my eardrums. You guys literally have billion dollar contracts- do better!
Why is it so difficult for ESPN to put together a podcast with good technical quality? It’s not just this one. It seems like every podcast put out by ESPN has half the voices at a 2 and the other half at 10. Get it together, Disney!
Please figure out the audio. I turn it way up just to hear Pete, and then Rece starts talking and about blows my eardrums out. Last week sounded like Dan was in witness protection, and couldn’t make any noise in the basement. Please help!
