I listen to this everyday

I moved to bc so when I go to work I can start from hour one with no commercials. Only complaint is the audio quality and volume levels. I have to crank it max in my car to hear it. And then Rhett is louder then the studio guys!!! Fix that stuff and it’ll be perfect.

Bam- Bam ,

Listened for 10 min

These two sound like two junior high boys with a mic before the morning announcements at school. Inside jokes and constant trying to be funny with immature giggling. Stick to sports -
