Great content but occasionally poor sound quality

Absolutely every podcast episode is chock full of interesting dramaturgical information and has been a fantastic learning tool for discussing theatre critically. The sound quality can often times be very poor, which is frustrating when I want to hear every juicy tidbit. These episodes are often recorded on stage for a talk back with a live audience, so I’m not sure if that issue will ever be remedied.
