I found the recent Engie's Ryan Wavish so frustrating to listen to I was literally shouting at well , nothing really… seriously paying people to turn off their solar?!! We don’t want curtailment!

Apple Podcasts4Matt BurgherAustraliaa year ago - Fabulous content, technical quality not so much
As the title says I going the content fascinating and well researched. However most of my listening is on the car and the changes in volume during the show between presenters is annoying and takes away a lot of the pleasure of listening to this great show.
Apple Podcasts3Always Interested GaryAustralia2 years ago - Great topics- audio quality no so great.
This is a great podcasts but I find the audio quality particularly for guests to be a little muffled. Can you please look to improve it?
