Love to listen but the sound mixing is an issue

This show is a wonderful resource to keep myself up to date on what is often not flushed out in detail on the regular news programs. My only critique is that the audio is often a nuisance for its inconsistency; sometimes the music is way louder than the conversation that follows or precedes it; other times the audio of some guests is barely audible while others are loud in my ear. I would definitely listen more often if these common issues were corrected.
Wonderful show, Audio too low

Formerly interesting and quasi informative, but now just another mouthpiece for the Ministry of Propaganda.
