  • Good content, terrible audio balancing

    Listened to one episode, audio is very unbalanced. 80% of the time the audio is too quiet so I have to turn up the audio. Then 20% of the time they are yelling at me.

    It’s a shame because I would like to recommend this podcast but the audio should be more balanced.
