  • Audio needs much improvement

    It is great to give back to the community and share. However, sharing can be quite difficult. I heard a bit of good content from what audio I could understand and tolerate. but the audio needs a lot of improvement. Being a new listener, I’m excited to continue to listen and hope they get it figured out. Audio doesn't have to be professional but please try to be listenable. DFIR community is difficult to get into and sharing helps others find it and learn.
