  • Too quiet

    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

  • Unlistenable

    Valuable content but it’s like listening to two barely literate middle schoolers try to read from a textbook. Like cringe worthy.

  • Ok but needs some work

    Love the concept and usually interested in the content, but the music is louder than the discussion so it’s hard to hear. The sound is often muffled and unclear, or you’re mumbling. A little more in the way of news please. Less in the way of jokes or snide comments.

  • Cough Button

    Can we get a cough button installed for Jay to control Alex? It’s difficult to find the shows content credible as it has become little more than a platform for poorly timed, bad jokes. Ive been a fan for years and hope to see a return to credible business reporting.

  • Interrupting

    I love your podcast and have listened for years but may need to stop if Alex doesn’t stop being so rude! Hard to listen today as he continually interrupted Jay, cut off parts of the story, and made it all about him. So frustrating- stop it!
