Turn OFF the f’n music

Good insights but when the people start talking, turn OFF the f’n music so we can actually HEAR what they are saying. I listen to the PODCAST not your intro music.

Unmet potential - constructive criticism

I struggle with this podcast. Editorially, I think the subject matter is topical, current and engaging – as are the guests. However, I consistently struggle with two elements. Chuck’s constant interruptions of guests is maddening and makes for a really jarring listening experience. The second (and inexplicable concern) is the abysmal audio quality. How on earth can an NBC affiliated show be produced with such thin, tinny and poor quality. Amateur podcasts and YouTube videos sound more polished and professionally. If I were Chuck I’d reconsider labelling this “format” using my surname until this were fixed. Clearly the folks who produce this don’t actually listen to the end product. I hope all concerned work on making the end product better.

Yikes!

Loved the podcast but it’s deteriorated badly. Just the January 11th episode had over 82 “you know” (48 from Todd alone…and probably just as many “like”. Its now too painful…
