  • Terrible audio quality

    This podcast has great potential but is let down by two key areas. The first is the appalling audio quality, with inconsistent levels which make it impossible to listen to without having to ride the volume control. The audio of the guests is also often very poor. If a guest can’t provide good audio then they shouldn’t be allowed on the show. The other issue is the fact that “listeners’” photos are reviewed. It’s a podcast!!! Stop talking about visuals.

  • Good stuff but audio levels all over the place

    I like this podcast. Has interesting topics but the audio levels of the hosts are either too loud or too soft. It’s frustrating and often listen to something else because of it.

Leica SL3-P Launch and Social Media Mastery with Lucinda Goodwin - The Random Photography Show (EP195)

Annabel Osborne | From Avatar to Sydney NYE, Capturing Iconic Moments (EP180)
