  • That’s not how a slide whistle sounds like Alex

    Someone should make Alex listen to a slide whistle. It doesn’t end with all sorts of weird popping sounds. Jay has it right.

  • Audio quality bad

    Good podcast but it’s extremely annoying to listen to. The music drops between stories is so much louder than the speaking audio. You need to crank up the audio for your voices

    Can you please normalize the volume? The podcast is ultra quiet and then you boost the volume on ads. Annoying and does not make me want to listen
