Great Podcast and Guests

Enough can’t be said about the topics and substance.

Room for improvement: hard to hear even with headphones on. Please use better mics. It’s hard to hear. It sounds like it was recorded with a tape recorder left in middle of the room.

Legendary Healthcare Leaders!

The entire Future of Health team, along with their stellar guests, shine the brightest of lights on what it means to be forward-thinking in our ever-changing healthcare culture! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. You’ll get tons of actionable advice and tangible tips, but you’ll also get heaps of inspiration from truly engaging individuals who genuinely want to see the industry succeed in every way. Thanks for putting out such a superb show guys - keep up the great work!

Great content but not so great mic quality

I really enjoy listening to the podcast but often find myself struggling with the host (I believe steve) fading out mid sentence in the microphone. I have listened to multiple and my guess is he turns away to read a note or something but it is really distracting and I miss out on points being discussed. When I crank up the volume to hear, the sound level is way loud when back towards the mic. Would love to be able to focus on the content more than straining to hear!
