  • Time to step it up guys

    This podcast used to be excellent but has really dropped in quality.

    Get the reports proper microphones

    Have some more preparation before the show so the reporters aren’t stammering through

    Get a clean recording of the guests so it’s not some tinny sounding zoom link that cuts out

    Everyone wants this to be good but the simple things are not getting done.
