  • Love this

    Absolutely love this podcast. Super professional, no goofy antics, tons of evidence based information very clearly explained and discussed. My one critique is a technical one. Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be a volume issue going on. I have to turn my volume up all the way to hear this podcast on the same relative level as other podcasts I listen to. Maybe something to look into?
