  • Great podcast, love the panel, could do with less audio troubleshooting, interruptions…

    The title says the bulk of it; I’m a big fan of the podcast, this is my favorite WordPress one. My biggest issue, if you can call it that, is that the moderator/host interrupts a lot. Love his feedback and input when he talks, but oof does it hurt to listen to. Second, the audio seems to be a recurring issue—I think that troubleshooting this before the show would go a long way. We want to hear you all talk, not troubleshoot your mics.

    All the best!

    Edit: This still stands in 2022…God, help us.... more

    I love listening to the shows, which are entertaining and educational, especially the Round Table discussion. I am a WordPress developer myself—and it’s refreshing to hear people in the community ‘tell it like it is!’ Well done indeed.
