  • Poor Audio Quality - Good Content

    I have not written a review before and listen on Spotify, but felt justified to get on here.

    The audio quality needs significant improvement for me to keep listening to this. I used to really like this with Will and Paul, but the audio quality dropped significantly.

    While I believe Mo means well, he doesn’t bring what Will brought. I keep giving it a try and it is disappointing because I used to really enjoy this podcast. Hope the audio quality improves.
