This is an essential news source to me, and I listen every morning. However, in recent weeks/months, the volume of the host audio has gotten very quiet compared with most of the stories, and there is also substantial variation of volume between stories. Could you please even out the volume levels? My neighbors thank you in advance for my stereo not becoming suddenly very loud at 6 a.m.
Team work shines through
I wish they would get a reporter who is able to pronounce words correctly. it’s acoustically unpleasant to hear this person speak when all I can focus on is how many words she mispronounces…
Part of my daily morning routine but the low energy of the fill-in host has me worried about its future. I’m sure she’s a great writer and fine as a reporter for a single story but is not a host. Also the show’s “make assumptions” ad triggers cringe so quickly I might get in a car accident reaching for the skip button
Every morning I listen to it and even better they don’t only pick stuff that gets you scared they do the opposite
