Serious topics with serious individuals…please loose the sound effects.

Great resource on information security with thought leaders with great insight from individuals in the industry. Please do loose the sound effects as you are discussing serious topics with serious individuals, I'm certain it delays production for an unnecessary attempt at making it fun/funny.

Great Content Poor Audio

I love the content it’s extremely useful to me as a Business Information Security Officer. However the audio quality leaves something to be desired. Keep up the good work though.
