  • FIX YOUR AUDIO!!!! Per favore!

    Oh my goodness it’s so upsetting how poor the audio quality of this podcast is, because I love listening to it and everything you all have to say. But it’s so difficult to actually listen to! For an audio format of media…. I mean?! 3 stars is pretty generous bc the audio is truly awful but I really hope that with this review and the others I have seen stating the same, you will fix it soon! I love the show!
