Great Podcast, but sound quality is not up to professional standards

I absolutely love this podcast, but I wish Matt would work to upgrade his audio setup. It is clear that he is just putting a microphone in front of a speakerphone. I often have real problems understanding his interview subjects and his voice often has a very major echo. I can’t believe that he doesn’t have someone who can help him. It literally is the only reason I can’t give the podcast 5 stars.

Interviews are great! Love the insight into sports media. There are a lot of interesting stories in sports media that are almost as interesting as the sports themselves. No one covers sports media like Awful Announcing.

Always a great listen. Some engaging conversations with some great guests as Brandon is able to ask the guest questions that others might not ask on their podcasts.
