  • Great content , bad audio

    When you guys made the switch the audio has been awful. We can barely hear Alicia, Mike’s audio level is fine and people who call in to the shows audio is too high. I drive a big rig so I’m constantly having to adjust my audio. Other than that, GREAT SHOW. Please fix this.

    *UPDATE *

    Audio has been fixed. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.
