  • Excellent info, bad production

    As others have stated, the information provided by you and your guests is excellent, however the listening experience is severely lacking. Learn good mic technique. Edit out your verbal mistakes. Google compression. Use it. If you have editors, fire them and hire some that know what they’re doing. There is a terrible juxtaposition of the professionalism showcased in what you say and the lack thereof in the audio quality.

  • Fix the mics

    I agree with other review… something is wrong with Tony’s mic, his voice is way too low/soft and fluctuates in and out, and then Ashley comes on and is screaming in my ear (a long with the annoyingly loud commercials). Please fix this so that we can comfortably listen to the entire podcast without adjusting volume CONSTANTLY. Otherwise, love the podcast!

    Ps. Don’t have guests on who won’t share their bad experiences (latest episode 4/20/26). After the second ask/refusal for her to share, I tur... more
