  • I hate to say it…

    But for all of the outstanding artists featured on this podcast, the host Tyler Green does not seem to do them justice as an interviewer. Sure he often does some very good research in preparing for the interviews, but he oftentimes sounds apathetic and even bored during these.

  • Please Improve Sound

    I really enjoy the content, but the sounds quality makes this an unpleasant listen. In the episode I have on now, the person being interviewed has severe vocal fry (which could possibly be an easy fix) but their audio is such poor quality they keep cutting out. How can you publish a podcast with this level of audio? Pretty disappointing.
