    I enjoy the conversation, but the ads are just plonked in the middle of a sentence, (even a word) and it is SO jarring! Fix that, and it’s great!

  • Audio 1/5 Stars

    The audio is a MESSSSS. Pleaseeeee fix that for your headphone listeners. I had to stop listening to your great podcast on my walks because the audio isn’t a consistent crisp volume. The interview is so low and suddenly the ads are so loud it hurts my ears. If it’s like that AT LEAST start warning us for ad breaks. I love how Couples Therapy podcast transitions to ad breaks so smoothly. I think that’d help in this situation a lot.
