  • Audio fix

    I’ve been an avid listener of Odd Lots podcast since the beginning. I can’t say I listen to every episode, but I do listen to most. In November 2025, it will hit 10 years. With the amount of content Tracy and Joe put out, keeping this podcast fresh and thoughtful can’t be easy. As a soon to be 10 year listener, congratulations and I hope podcasts are a thing in 10 years so you hit 20! Thank you for making me more informative.
