  • Content good, audio horrible and all over the place

    This is a media to be listened to so audio is very important. It is all over the place with being muffled and the volume being different from segment to segment. Doesn’t seem anyone involved with this podcast “proofreads” their work prior to handing it in. The sound levels need to be cleaned up.
