  • Please fix audio levels

    Love the podcast but really wish the audio levels we louder because my earbuds are fine and in my car is fine but once I put it on my Bluetooth speaker that's when I can barely hear the podcast at all. I know it's the podcast because all my other shows I don't have this problem at all. Again love the podcast just wish it was louder.
