  • Unfortunate Audio Issues

    Enjoy the content and selection of guests BUT every time Peter touches the table, you hear a small boom. Audio in general is uneven. Easily solved with mic arms, EQ adjustment, and Compression filter!

  • Great, usually

    Usually great, but Rick Glassman

    It’s not a good interview. It’s because of him, not the hosts.
