Show is amazing, but sometimes I have a hard time listening in my car to interviews who are using something that sounds awful compared to your mic… maybe you should buy a few mics and mail them to your interview and then when they’re done, they can mail them back.

Listen daily at work! Great stories! But why can’t I listen from the beginning? I could only go back 2024
