What’s behind the bad ratings?

It seems people have a grudge against the hosts. I enjoy the conversational nature of this podcast. The hosts are knowledgeable and well informed.

Great Content, Terrible Production

The quality of the episodes is terrible, even though the content is great.

Quality Content; Poor Production

These guys clearly know the business and provide great insights into an exciting industry. Unfortunately, it seems like nobody listens to the episodes before they’re launched and that no editing is being done. Time to bring in some advertisers so you can pay someone to edit/produce or hire a high schooler. Either option would be better than what you’re putting out at the moment.
