Absolutely, love this Podcast! AJ presents the information in a way that makes it interesting and thought provoking. Heckle fish is funny, sometimes annoying and has a pretty good singing voice. Keep them coming!
Re: Basement #11
PLEASE UP PETER’s VOICE. ITS HARD TO MAKE OUT HIS WORDS WHEN LISTENING DURING COMMUTE. IF I TURN UP VOLUME AJ’S VOICE BECOMES TOO LOUD, AND SUDDEN ADS VOLUME GETS ME JUMP SCARE. NOT COOL.
TONS(!!) of ads and they are mid sentence. Unprofessional and totally disrupts the rhythm. Hire a professional to produce your shows.
The long form discussions are the best thing you have done to date. Maximum info, minimum fish.
Would be a lot better if AJ came to Christ, get a religion or stay out of it.
