  • Disappointed

    These ladies' humor is off the chain, but audio levels remain inconsistent. Can barely hear Angela at times but now there's no transcript to follow along. Never finished 8/17 IOTW. Too much huhu straining to listen. Please consider your listeners who have hearing issues.

Not only are they hysterically funny, they are kind, compassionate humans who know when tough love is necessary. I seriously fear the day they retire and stop producing IOTW. Thank you Frangela for helping me throu... more
