  • Sherman

    I don’t understand how you simply go to next episode and why there are multiple episode 1’s for Sherman Case.

  • Delivery needs adjustment

    I love the subject matter. The music between sections is very harsh and loud. At first I was turning my radio down as soon as he said “up next” hoping that it would get better soon, but it is still happening on the newest episodes. A higher quality microphone would help with maintaining consistent speech volume too. I will check again in a while to see how it’s going.

  • Good luck

    The music is creepy, distracting and unnecessary. The podcast has good intentions but is too scattered. Good luck in its development. I’ll check back on its progress.
