Sometimes it sounds like you’re talking through a dining napkin.

I’m not sure if it’s just my headphones but sometimes it seems like you’re speaking into a piece of heavy cloth- the treble is diminished, and your otherwise impeccable annunciation muddled. That said; this is a fantastic show and you should be very proud of this production! I look forward to every episode!
My new favorite podcast
Nov 16
I had previously listened to a few select episodes of Cautionary Tales (Blitzkrieg), but it wasn’t until Tim Hartford mentioned the show on the More or Less podcast that I discovered just how amazingly good Cautionary Tales actually is. I’m now thoroughly addicted and steadily working through the back catalog of episodes. Fascinating stories, amazing insights, well produced, smart and entertaining. Love it.
A great show, ruined by constant advertising breaks
5 days ago
Just when you start getting immersed into the story, another 3 minute add break, resulting 1/3 of podcast being ads, ripping you out of the story. I get the content provider needs to make money, but how much does playing the same company ad 4 times in the same podcast pay?
