  • Float level adjustment in a carby.

    G’day Greg, I have listened to every podcast and I’m 99.9% impressed with the way that you apply your knowledge and skills to interviewing your guests.

    The .1% that becomes a negative is the music and advertising. They are too loud in comparison to the speech, especially when the music is at the same time as the spoken word.

    This may only be a small criticism, but it will stop a sudden dive for the volume control on the stereo when the music is happening.

    Cheers and thanks for a great show, ... more
