- Great podcast but….
Really enjoy the guests but agree with other reviewer that the audio quality isn’t great, it’s not clear in spots so hopefully you can fix this, occasional talking over one another makes it hard to hear what your saying also. Still enjoyable though

Wished it could have been better but i frustratingly gave up.
