Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 30 ratings
  • Untrustworthy

    Spent 75 minutes discussing the 2026 WRTC contest without a mention of the rescoring. This podcast is not on the level. Unsubscribing.

  • Audio weak

    Episode 88 guest was a “low talker.” He had insufficient mic gain relative to the host. That should be balanced out in production.
