- Super content, low volume
The content is masterfully done. Please consider raising your voice volume (and balance everything up) please. Right now I have to put my iPad Pro’s volume to 80-90% to just hear what you say, and it’s often not enough. We should be able to hear things clearly at around 50%. Thanks!

Italya month ago - Great podcast, terrible sound
Would be so enjoyable if Josh learned to use the mic! Either his speaking is inaudible (most recent episode 🤦🏻♀️), or he is thundering and the music in comparison is inaudible… Can someone help him with the tech?

Highly recommended! I have learned so very much here and I am grateful for joshua’s time he devotes to the show.
Apple Podcasts5delusionfanUnited Statesa month ago - Love it! And…
Wonderful podcast. Enlightening and at the perfect pitch. And: it is disappointing that the maker’s stated intention to “diversify” content seems to have faded away like much of the virtue-signalling commitments of 2020. Classical music is more than the white men that keep on being highlighted.
