  • Love the content, not the audio/effects

    I have always loved the content of this pod, but I cannot believe they still have not started using mics??! They are clearly using the audio from their Zoom sessions as the main audio. They should record via an actual microphone plugged into the computer, like a normal podcaster. Also I do not like the little sound effect/music bites that have been added lately. They don’t even really break up separate parts/thoughts in the episodes. They just feel random and distracting. Keep up the good work, ... more
