The show itself is great. I have no qualms with the show’s content. I have an issue with the show volume. If I set my volume to hear boomer, valenti blows my ear drums out. If I set my volume to comfortably hear valenti, boomer sounds like a whisper. Doesn’t matter if it is in my vehicle or AirPods.
Love the show. Actually wish it were longer than 45min. Excellent chemistry and love Valenti but dear Jesus PLEASE fix the audio shift between commercials and the show. It's 2025 and it's the only show I've ever heard with this crazy difference. Commercials blow my ears out because I have to turn the show up so loud
I love the show, I listen every week. I was listening to the most recent episode with my wife, on a car ride & she was irate about the audio. This is too big of a show to sound like this. Please look into this.
Ads and intro/outro are good but audio is barely there. Valenti sounds like he’s whispering at times. Listen in the shower but cash the ticket isn’t a problem. Love the show. Just wish I could hear it better.
Great show but please fix audio levels so all are at same volume. This week, Valenti’s levels were low, while Boomer’s and Simms’ level were fine. Other weeks a different mic is low. Whatever, end result, having to raise the volume to hear the lowest mic becomes an even bigger problem when going to an ad or when the podcast announcer comes on and my Bluetooth speaker is so loud I’m concerned I’m going to blow the speaker.
