  • Like it despite audio issues

    I enjoy the podcast and the tell-it-like-it-is vibe. Unfortunately the audio quality is really rough. Somebody, please, get Stephanie a mic (and please, not a bad headset mic like it sounds like one of her co-hosts might be using).

    Her audio in particular is so painful (laptop mic? and, with no attempt to deaden her echo?) that I often just stop listening. Thanks for the content, though!

  • What You Hear Is What You Get

    Highly entertaining if sometimes (often) nonsensical. True tales from the trail that will leave you laughing and/or shaking your head. Don’t listen within earshot of your (my) kids.
