  • I love this…..but!

    Really love this podcast, great info and advice. My only gripe is that the sound/recording is not great quality and needs a massive upgrade. Do that and this will be one of best podcast around.

  • Great content, sound quality low

    I am soaking up all the Spain content I can get. I want to like this podcast but find the sound quality really low. I’m American so admittedly the accents are a little tougher for me to understand to begin with. Would listen more if they upgrade their podcast equipment! 🙏
