Customer Reviews
Volume issues
I think the information, whether I agree or not, is compelling. My big issue is they need an audio engineer or something to keep Fentress’ volume at a consistent level. Sometimes he gets so quiet I can barely hear him. It detracts from the quality of the production.
Fun Podcast Despite Audio
Maybe it’s me, but Aaron doesn’t seem able to maintain reasonably consistent audio levels, whether he’s moving around the mic or simply alternating between shout and whisper. At times it borders on unlistenable, and I find myself constantly adjusting my headphone level. Craig’s audio levels, on the other hand, are fairly consistent.
Blazers
I never listened to the podcast with different hosts so I have no history. I thought Aaron was insightful, knew the team, and appreciates good basketball. The back-and-forth was entertaining and the enthusiasm each host demonstrated was a plus. This Blazer moment has a lot of uncertainty and the Podcast navigated the uncertainty and possible season, and beyond, outcomes well. The Blazers are fun to watch and the hosts encouraged fans, including the tank now advocates that no matter what they should enjoy the way the team is playing.
