Love this show but a lot of the episodes are not even listenable(word?) bc the audio is so quiet and muffled. What is going on?
Love this show. Glad it’s back. But OMG can you make it louder. Its base line is 50% as loud as every other podcast. I have my volume on max and can barely hear???
UPDATE: I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK!!!
I will really miss this podcast, but what a great last episode! I truly hope you and Jason can do a spring/fall check in’s!
I used to really love this show. Tv watch list is barely part of the show. Interviews are kind of mediocre because Ashley needs the guests (eg Yara and jovi) honestly just want Ashley to talk about tv
I had no idea TV I Say was coming back, and I was so delighted when it was in my feed today. What a time to be alive!
