  • Sound mix - pls fix

    I enjoy the show and the topics are varied.

    The female host’s microphone is louder than the rest and it is very distracting to the listener. Can you pls check the levels and adjust?

Q: Is this something that you recognized in launching Boomband?
Yes, there's a reflection out there right now. Everybody knows somebody that's out of work and maybe for the last two or three generations of people working, there's always been low supply and high demand.
