  • Love the show, hate the sound

    We love listening to your podcast on road trips. Great content, entertaining presentations. The only negative is the sound; it is so inconsistent. Large and Vibbs are good, but Anne is very hard to hear. If she talks a lot then we have to turn up the volume to hear her, once Large speaks again it’s uncomfortably loud. Please, please fix.
