  • Worst Audio balance

    If you want to give your volume control a workout this is the podcast for you. Inconsistent volume levels throughout the podcast some panelists are barely audible while others seem to be at full volume. The music is always too loud but that’s probably done to drown out the panelists who talk throughout the music.

    Thanks for a consistently entertaining and informative show each week. From the dad jokes to the banter to learning something new each episode, this is one of just a few podcasts I highly recommend to friends. I expected to hear the Pogues this week but the selections were all good, nonetheless.

    Keep up the fine work! Cheers, my friends! 🍻🍀🎶
