    I listen to The Morning Animals podcast and not live everyday due to my work schedule and very much enjoy the show. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars for one reason…it has to be one of the quietest podcast I’m subscribed to. I have to turn my radio up more than any other podcast to hear the show.
