  • Great content, but terrible audio

    I really want to love this podcast, but my neurospicy ears just can’t deal with the bad audio. This happens with so many podcasts, it’s making me miserable. Please try to improve the audio quality so people with sensitive ears can listen without having to constantly adjust the volume.
