Keep 2 hosts!
I like this podcast because of the back and forth between the two hosts! Great job filling in Alex! They do cover key topics in a short time span which I like.
Bad audio
Can’t stand the audio quality over the last couple months. Sound cuts out. Will unsubscribe from the pod until this is fixed.
Audio is poor
Whenever Brett is by himself the audio is terrible. Repeatedly cuts out. It’s so bad and consistent that I can’t listen any longer. Too bad.
