Chad is prepared, knowledgeable and comes across a pleasant guy who is easy to listen to. My critique is I wish he wouldn’t constantly giggle/laugh so much at things that are not funny or even intended to be humorous.
Maybe add some episode descriptions?
This is a great podcast and I look forward to the new episode dropping each week. My only problem is I can’t hear Tyler. I turn the volume up as loud as I can and it still sounds like he’s 3 feet away from the mic. Hoping that can be dialed in because I really enjoy hearing from both of you.
It was great until cyclone talk with Randy Petersen started on top of Tyler and Chad’s conversation around the 23 min mark.
