My brother, anything is better than what you’re using. Great convos and perspective for a casual fan wanting deeper insights.
I think your Content is equal to managing Madrid. since they have some credentials, they can’t be as critical of the club as you guys. I love your honesty when you critique the club.

Sound quality is awful, but content is awesome. You just have to try really hard to hear and understand. Sid, you have to work on this sound, your guest often sound terrible and are hard to understand, but your mic echos badly or is so quiet. But I listen to every episode and I’m rooting for you!
I think your Content is better than managing Madrid. Especially now that foreign guy is off of it, Leconte (sic), his audio quality plus his accent made it very hard to listen to him. In general, you still need to work on your audio. The December 30 episode about Spanish soccer was unlistenable. Gerard,Your audio is fine. But the guy you brought on for the New Year’s resolution was the same guy from December 30 and his audio was too muffled. Please listen to your podcast before you release them.... more
