Muffled Audio
As a blue dot in a red state, I absolutely need this podcast to keep my sanity. The takes are insightful and entertaining! The only thing holding me back from a 5 star rating is the sound quality! I can't always understand this podcast unless my headphones are in. It is hard for me to listen in my car or my Bluetooth speaker because I can't always understand the muffled audio.
Thank you.
I love this. Smart, insightful, articulate, moral and that southern accent. I’m so happy to have found this.
Fantastic
The sound quality has gotten a lot better, and the content continues to be surprising. One of the last sane people in either party
