Customer Reviews
Love the content, but…
I love listening to this podcast for the most part, but highly recommend the hosts take their listeners into consideration when recording. Please keep the dogs out. The barking interruptions really takes away from what is being said, and is also really hard on the ear drums if you’re listening with headphones. Maybe treat this a little less like a phone call with your bestie, and a little bit more like a professional venture, if you want to keep an audience.
Homestead novice
Love it! Can’t wait to hear more.
