Buy a good microphone and amp. This is a simple fix to increase followers. Ask Longhaul Paul for help setting up the audio. Ask a successful podcasters for help. Just do it.

As was mentioned else where. Your content is great but the constant changing of sound levels makes it really difficult to listen to.

Apple Podcasts3seeya byeUnited States3 years ago - Should stick to trucking
Not many decent trucking podcasts and now there is one less. I have to hear about lgbtq crap every where I look and if this TRUCKING podcast is going to talk about it then I’m out.
Apple Podcasts1Cornfed84United States4 years ago - Good sound engineer needed
Please get the help of a sound engineer. With consistently bad sound quality, you’re doing a great disservice to your wonderful content and interviewees. Most interviewees sound muffled and the choice to have background music makes it even more difficult to hear.
