Good Content, Less Than Optimal Audio Quality

Love the website, the articles, the content—my only issue with this podcast is the audio quality. I’ve tried adjusting my car speakers, I’ve played out loud on my phone, used my best headphones and my jbl earbuds and it’s the same issues. For those who aren’t tortured with acute hearing like me, this probably won’t matter to you. But for others like me, I pray the podcasters will take my review into account (rare, but it can happen), put it through some audio editing (like a de-esser, for example). I’m super bummed because I was looking forward to listening to the podcast since I enjoy their websites articles. I hope this is improved in their future podcasts! :)

Half-Full Review ,

Would you like a cup of depression?

Big, holistic gulp - come sit down and listen, because I promise you, no matter how disillusioned you are we can take it a step further.

Who doesn’t want more people in their lives to take them for a ride? To point at every pothole and then drive right over them yelling, “Told you!!!”

Come! Hop on this lame horse and make sure you equip your Mythcreant Saddle of Soulless Commentary, it pins your feet to the ears and your face just beneath the tail - giddy up!

Because if you don’t think the best way to learn how to swim is to watch people drown, well you’re not a Mythcreant!
