  • Audio level(s)?

    Guests and Mr. Scheer’s voices are consistently at a really low volume and semi-muddy fidelity (at least the podcast version). Can something be done at the recording/mixing/post-production stage(s)? The show is excellent; it’s a pity the audio isn’t louder and clearer.

    Please raise the host microphone volume so it balances with the host volume. Host too low, guest too high. Stressing the ears🙈

    Otherwise great discussions and fascinating topics. Well done!

    Scheer also keeps claiming he wants a conversation with his guest - Jeff Cohen -yet shuts him down over and over. Deeply disappointing “analysis” from a longtime commentator and journalist. He’s cherry-picking examples of goodish Republicans and exaggerating... more

  • I want to listen more

    It’s like listening to Biden mumble in his sleep.
