  • Poor Sound Quality

    The audio quality of this podcast is so poor that I’m unable to listen to it.

    It’s as if there’s electronic interference creating a static sound. This is not the first time I’ve had this problem, which doesn’t occur with any other podcast.

    What’s the point of trying to listen if you can’t make out what is being said.

  • Big on ambulances; little on insight.

    Downloaded recently for regional news. Disappointed by the focus on chasing ambulances and lack of insightful journalism.
