Muffled Audio
As a blue dot in a red state, I absolutely need this podcast to keep my sanity. The takes are insightful and entertaining! The only thing holding me back from a 5 star rating is the sound quality! I can't always understand this podcast unless my headphones are in. It is hard for me to listen in my car or my Bluetooth speaker because I can't always understand the muffled audio.
Fantastic
The sound quality has gotten a lot better, and the content continues to be surprising. One of the last sane people in either party
Please keep speaking the truth!
I am a blue speck in a very confused red state. I find your voice to be the voice for most of us who are still living in reality.
