  • Fix the sound quality

    I think once the sound quality is fixed, this will be a really good podcast. Strong voice, but at the end of each sentence, it sounds like the host’s voice goes so quiet, I almost can’t catch it.

  • It's okay

    I thought it was just me, but then I read some of the other reviews and other people feel the same way I do. This is a good podcast, there's no denying that, it's just that the hosts delivery is a bit monotone, and I felt myself wanting to get through the podcast rather than enjoy.

  • Monotone

    I really do like the content in this podcast, however, the host speaks in a monotone and I find my mind wandering elsewhere. Perhaps up the excitement factor a little bit?
