Great information, not great sound quality
The information on every episode is fantastic which is why I gave it 5 stars. However, the sound quality on the last couple of episodes has been quite poor. Even with volume all the way up it is hard to hear certain parts, which is unfortunate.
Adam Curry, also known as the Pod-Father, is known for having the best sound quality in the business. He has a site where he gives everyone his settings/recommendations for free. Maybe that would be helpful.
Thank you for the amazing information.
