Great podcast. Not so great sound quality

I love the content of this podcast, interesting interviews with lots of smart content luminaries.

Maybe it’s just me but I struggle with the fact that it sounds like it’s recorded in a tunnel. Don’t know if it’s an equipment issue but I would listen to it religiously if the sound quality was better.

If you’re involved in content creation at all this show is for you!!
