- Noise Gate Problem
Hey Andy! Longtime fan of your work (though not much a listener anymore)
There is an aggressive noise gate in your podcast this season, that makes the show almost unlistenable. The radio silence between words is so disconcerting. I know from all your work you’re a better audio producer than this! Maybe you’re not even the one doing it….

I have found the topics in this podcast to be really relevant to my life and also inspiring. As someone who is pivoting into a new career mid-life I love hearing stories of people who are also crazy enough to make big changes! I think about the episode with Bebo Norman often as I am a once- musician now going into the medical/ helping field. Thanks for this offering, Andrew. I look forward to every new episode.

I started listening to the podcast several years ago in my own season of “pivot.” I have been encouraged by all the stories of transformation through unexpected circumstances. I was so excited to see NEW EPISODES!!! This podcast is amazing and has been life giving to my own faith. Thanks for reminding us to lean in to the hard questions of faith in Jesus rather than running away from them.
If your plans in life have ever been massively interrupted- or possibly demolished- and you are feeli... more
Apple Podcasts5faithjaclynUnited Statesa year ago - The Pivot gets it!
Andy knows how to expertly lead and accompany his guests in conversation . Just like he leads in playing music and accompanying other artists. Thoughtful and funny and he knows how to ask what we wouldn’t know to ask !
Apple Podcasts5JaauscUnited States5 years ago - Simply wonderful
There are soooooo many podcasts out there these days… way too many, but seriously I’d say these podcasts are some of the best out there.
Andrew has the ability and really the gift to ask good questions and carry conversations with others in such a gentle and beautiful manner, he listens well, and is able to bring the person that he is interviewing to draw out the important life lessons of his/her life and recognize the divine intervention and gentle leading…
We all need testimonies, and these... more
