  • I am not ok

    There is an ad far to frequently saying I’m not ok. Yeh I get it mental health is important but if you have to play ads to pay for your podcast how about you not play the say one on playback constantly.

  • Audio quality

    Useful stuff but could do with better audio. Could also do with better diversity of host (different change from Frances would be welcomed) as well as greater ethnic diversity of guests.

  • Decent show, but…

    Consistently bad audio since Business Desk took over. Dunno if it’s software or internet issues, but it’s every episode so it’s on the interviewer’s end. Not a good look, needs to be fixed.
