  • Great but check audio

    I really enjoy what they put out. However, Joe’s audio is frequently muffled and he is hard to understand at times. Also, there seems to be a lot of assumptions that the audience understands certain terms/organizations/initiatives. It would be helpful if Joe gave some extra background about what he and his guests are referring to.
