  • Great content, terrible audio

    Great content but the audio changes constantly, and it will blow your ears out

    Spend a few hundred bucks and get the same microphones with the guests speaking from the same distance from the microphone

  • Good content, but atrocious audio quality.

    The audio quality is steadily getting worse. The listener must constantly change the volume based off of who is speaking. Please invest in some dedicated podcast equipment. Content remains phenomenal.
