I love curb, it’s my favourite comedy show. A rewatch podcast is obviously going to be alluring to me. The two guys that host the show are clearly friends and have good rapport together. They have some odd takes but for the most part they come up with good observations and can be amusing but it’s a joy to go back through the curb episodes again. However….. there’s one major hitch to the entire listening experience - they can’t produce or maybe just don’t produce the show whatsoever. The levels are all over the place. One guy, Av, is very loud and the other guy Alex is really quiet. And they both have major mic “pop”. Come on, invest in a pop screen! You find yourself turning up the volume to hear Alex only to have your ears mauled by Av. Alex sounds like he is sitting over in the corner of the room while Av has his mouth literally pressed against the mic. I’m only on the second season and they’ve covered all the seasons so far so maybe they improved things at some point. Although they actually read out listener feedback a couple of episodes ago that commented on this very problem but the hosts just shrugged it off saying that they couldn’t get what the listener was referring to. I guess they never listen back to the recording. I really wish they would do this and clean up the old episodes, I’d give the show 5 stars.
