  • Distracting noise ruining show

    The IBM episode had the same horrible echos and background noise as the previous episode. As much as I love what you guys talk about, I will have to stop listening if this continues. Please lister to your last two episodes to figure out what the problem is or you will start to shed listeners. 5 stars on the show, and will change this to that if you can get a fix
