  • I enjoy it

    I like this show and appreciate Zack and his tips he shares on instagram. The one thing you could fix are the audio levels. I have to crank the volume up super loud compared to any other show I listen to. Not sure what the set up is, but I just think it needs to be tweaked. Keep up the good work!
