Canada3 months ago - Decent content and relevant inquiries, but…
… the unexpectedly high (audio) volume of ads makes for an jarringly uncomfortable listening experience, and causes me concern about possible damage to my speakers and earbuds. Please flatten the audio levels!
Apple Podcasts3SynapticHammerCanada3 years ago - Oh the eardrums
I would give you a five star rating if you didn’t injure my eardrums with the excessively loud advertising
Apple Podcasts4DebSimmsCanada3 years ago - Used to be much better
Really enjoyed listening to Mercedes in the past but the media payoff has changed my mind, especially as of late. Her Christmas interview with the PM was ridiculous and embarrassing. No questions of merit, just softball after softball. Won’t listen anymore. You’re out!!
