  • Audio Issues

    The guests come in at full volume, the hosts are either completely muted or so low you can barely hear it. I know they started out in a muted industry, print, but turn up the volume! Does NO one listen to the podcast prior to publishing it???

  • BAD audio quality

    Love the show and the stories. Do not love the quality. I turn up the volume all the way up and I still cannot hear clearly. The audios sounds so far away and very poorly. It used to be somewhat okay but production needs to up their game with audio equipment. Will re-write a review once audio has been addressed.

  • Poor audio quality, bad news timing

    I’ve been a faithful listener of this podcast for some time, and the audio/production quality of this show is just so shockingly poor. I’m also confused as to the timing of the episodes, as the stories are sometimes reported exactly a day late. Really unfortunate strikes against it, because the stories themselves are often interesting.

  • Don’t finalize a poor product.

    Let me start off with saying I’m a news junky. I’ve enjoyed the podcast in the past. However the audio quality is terrible and inconsistent. You can’t hear the main host all the time. The other parts of the podcast sound fine. Also the schedule for the podcast?? Well there’s no schedule so consumers have no idea when to expect the podcast. Some weeks it comes on Monday and Tuesday then disappears for 3 days then magically appears. There is no consistency with the podcast schedule or the a... more

  • Unprofessional production

    I don’t know what happened to this podcast. The sound recording and editing is shockingly bad, and makes it unintelligible half the time. The LA Times should be embarrassed to put this out.
