Love it but John Tory? Quit in disgrace, cost TO a fortune for an early election. Bought votes through infrastructure maintenance and low taxes only for the next mayor to have to eat his mistakes and cost all of us a fortune. He has no credibility. You couldn’t get anybody better?
Volume difference between host and guests is too big. You end up having to play with the volume constantly. Good content.
In recent episodes, audio levels differ greatly between the host and guests. I can hardly hear Hudak.and Wynn. I love the podcast at this sound issue makes it very hard to listen to.
Great discussions but the audio quality - especially of the guests calling in - is SO poor. Give your guests a proper mic please
I will listen to all episodes just to hear what Dave’s opinion. Keep up the great work!
