  • Music

    The music plays too loudly while there is talking. It’s very distracting and makes listening difficult, especially for someone who is neurodivergent and has auditory processing issues. I hope the host sees this and makes an adjustment because I would like to keep listening, but I just can’t as it stands.

    This is one of the realest podcasts I’ve ever listened to! It dives into issues that people are too often too scared to vocalize themselves, and I know it’ll continue to deliver. Can’t wait for the next episode!

How to Make Opposites Last
