The volume levels were inconsistent. I kept having to adjust it because some parts were too low and others too loud compared to other podcasts
Great content! I love it! Very few people know about the book Psyco Cybernetics! It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed Dr. Forbes Riley- the PITCH QUEEN!
