If you are learning English, this is the "must be" channel. But the volume is really low, even I turn to maximum, I can hardly hear the voice. But other podcast channels I hear clearly. Could you fix this problem? Thanks
It's good for me to learn Englsh

I practicing the tone of the native speaker. It's really nice that the audio is the slow version.
