“Like,like”

Great topics, great knowledge, great guests. However- for me, I just can’t cope with the avalanche of “voice frying” women guests. I have to turn off as soon as I hear it. Don’t people listen back to themselves???

Marvellous stuff! What a gem is Adams.
The audio levels vary a bit too much, especially when Philip drops down to a conspirital whisper. The production would benefit from some audio compression and maybe a bit more volume?
Thanks to Philip and the team for a beaut show.
