  • Love the show but not the sound!

    Always great content but please adjust the sound quality of host. I listen in the car and have to change volume constantly. Very hard to hear.

  • Great podcast but sound quality terrible

    This is consistently an interesting & useful

    Podcast. I just wish the sound quality was not all over the place. Listening on earbuds I’m frequently adjusting volume up or down from speaker to speaker to theme music. If the sound quality was levelled out it would be a much better listen.
