Terrible Audio Editing
I’ve listened to this podcast from the initial launch, and while a little dull, I’ve enjoyed the informative and relevant content. That said, the audio editing (especially this past year) has been okay at best, and horrible at times. I’m talking wild fluctuations in audio, overlapping tracks, strange cuts, etc…
I get it, these pods are made fast and mistakes happen. But like I said, I’ve been listening from the beginning and this is a consistent annoyance. To the point where I’m no longer interested in the content.
Best wishes!
You will be missed!

the hypocrisy. i remember in his speech after the horrible evacuation of afghanistan this year where biden said we/US aren’t nation builders. we had a mission to get bin laden and we did and now were done. where in the clips of him in your podcast from the past say the opposite. biden is the best the dems can do? trump is the best the gop can do? this country is in bad shape. grrrr blahhh
