  • Please fix your Audio Levels!

    After almost 2 years of mentally and verbally complaining I am finally writing the feedback.. I listen to you guys 98% of time on my drive to work. You are sandwiched with the TheDailyAus, TheUpdate… and Your Audio Levels are so, SOO much lower than the other podcasts! Some episodes my car volume is in the MAX to be able to listen to you. Other than that, good show, engaging and informative. Thank you!

  • Good content annoying delivery

    Content is great but delivery is unnatural and annoying. Back and forth is disjointed and not conversational. The constant “boy” and “man” is cringe.
