Name drop city.

Don’t you just love when the host tells the (famous) guest how many famous people he’s talked to and knows. Me neither. It also baffles me that for how inexpenwive and accessible a very minimal podcasting microphone is that it he host seems to have consistently terrible audio quality. I’ll give it an extra star for the guests he’s able to get on a the show but damn; I don’t want to hear you name dropping from start to finish in terrible screechy audio. Anyone else with me?
