  • Sound Quality??

    I used to like your show even though the sound quality is terrible. Different sound quality and volume levels with different announcers. Please standardize your recording equipment. I could live with it until you decided to crank the volume of your ads. I have the volume turned way up to hear the weakest announcer then the ad comes on an blasts me away. I’m done thanks.

  • Cut the music

    I enjoy listening to your podcast BUT the music drowns you guys out when you start talking! Maybe I’m old because I find the music really irritating. I can live with the music if you would cut it off when you start talking.

  • Frustrated Regular Listener

    As a Canadian I love getting content specific to our country. Having said that am frustrated with music clips that are so loud I cannot hear what is being said, banter that is not funny, the zoom in and out sound effects that erode the professionalism of the podcast. Too much in the way of personal info shared - simply not interested in hearing this. With limited time to listen to news, don’t want it wasted by poor quality communication and personal musings.

    I know you can do better.
