  • Please improve sound quality

    I love your podcast. The content, guests and thoughtfulness of your interviews are top notch. I’d like to suggest an improvement. The host’s is very muffled and quiet much of the time. The guests are always well-mic’ed and clear, but the host’s voice is too quiet. Please improve the loudness and general audio quality of the host. Thanks, keep up the great content!
