  • Background typing distracting

    I appreciate the content and interview questions in the episode I listened to, but the background typing and mouse clicks were extremely distracting. Luckily, the conversation flowed so I couldn’t tell if it was the host or guest, but best practice may be to encourage no distractions during interviews.
