Love this podcast but hate the audio!

I’m a new fan of Black Mirror and now I’m listening to all of the podcast. I love the material they discuss and everything about the podcast except that I have to turn my volume up very loudly in my car just to hear it then every now and then one of the speakers talks super loud and it’s ear piercing. I just suggest the audio is worked on. I listen to a lot of podcast and I’ve never had to turn my volume up this loud just to hear. It’s either too loud or whispering.

Updating review

I previously gave a low rating due to spoilers of other episodes without warning within the discussion of a specific episode. They’ve added a spoiler warning for the entire season at the top of the episodes, so I am revising my rating.

Microphone problems

Love the conversations, but many episodes have a headache-inducing microphone distortion. Why not just do another take?
