  • Poor Audio Quality

    I am really interested in this content, but the audio quality is so bad I can’t get through an episode. I think especially when we talk about training and instructional design, professionalism in the production needs to be considered or it damages the credibility of the content.

    I encourage you to invest in better sound equipment and editing if you’re serious about this podcast.
