  • Love the pod. Sam, your audio sucks. With love from a fellow Canuck.

    Beb, your guests are sounding better than you. Are you transmitting your voice with two cans and a string…

    I’m giving you sass bc I know you can understand, but id love to hear your voice loud and clear rather than down a long hallway. 💋
