Great show, but….

It’s a great show and Eric’s perspective is incredibly interesting, but there are two minor issues with this show. The audio quality at times is rough. There are so many times where Eric’s mic drops or lowers at random and it can be difficult to deal with at times. Second and more importantly, Conrad is just not a very likable guy. There is a wildly strong yet underlying arrogance that accompanies him when he speaks that it makes him nearly unlistenable. Eric saves the show bc as a person, he and his perspective are just incredibly interesting but Conrad is a tough listen, every show, without fail.
