Terrific!!!!

Just started listening to this podcast and it’s terrific. Only thing, and it’s a relatively small gripe, is the guy needs to invest in an iPad and write on that!!!! The pencil scratching listening with or without headphones is MADDENING!!!!! Other than that it is one of the most informative podcast sites out there!!!!! 😀👍🏻😀

Kr8peace ,

Could be a solid show…

But a talk format with horrendous audio fails? Basics first guys: NO speakerphones. Soft room or throw towels on everything. Slow down to allow speech to not fumble over brain, if you want an audience that is…
