  • 5 star content but

    Love this show but the audio quality makes it very difficult to understand the speakers. Less echo-y recording spaces and some cheap mics from amazon or even running the audio through auto enhancements on something like garage band could be a huge fix.

  • Fix your show already!!!

    Do you need a donation because I’ll donate! I like the content (wish there was more) but I CANNOT hear the speaker over the music. The sound is always too quiet or there is some other issue and always with sound.

  • Audio and host need work

    Ep 61 - The young woman is more self-aware than the host. Host rambles and seems very unprepared. You need to hire an audio engineer that can keep your levels consistent.

    Needs work. Has potential, though. Would expect better.

    This task is Not "smokeable." Attention to detail is needed here.
