  • Great content, mediocre production

    Excellent content, audio quality and presentation leaves something to be desired. Love the music discussion in the beginning of each episode and the erudition of the hosts. Gentle recommendation: consider investing in better microphones, learning some basics of audio quality and editing, and working on a script or outline that will keep the show flowing and give it more coherence/listenability. Love the website, God bless you guys.
