O.C. Swingers audiochuck

The story is really interesting and well told by the host. All the reviews about “politics” are way overblown, honestly, other than the demographics of the area and a DA election that is directly involved in the case there is hardly any mention of politics. That being said, there are long periods of audio taken directly from court proceedings, which I can appreciate she wanted to include to preserve tone etc. BUT, they are extremely difficult to understand. I missed almost every chunk of audio taken from court proceedings. Couldn’t understand a word. Really sad because otherwise I enjoyed this podcast. Maybe they can clean up the audio (or add her voice over it) and repost.

Background music plays constantly while the host is talking. Such a shame, really looking forward to this story. Please pay attention to your neurodivergent audience -- background music makes it impossible for us to listen to the podcast at all. I literally cannot hear a word she's saying because of the competing music. It's not the volume, but the fact it's even there. Maybe hire some ND folks, they will tell you. Thank you.

This series was super hard to follow. There were many tangents that only served to confuse the listener. I understand that the host and producers were trying to emphasize certain parts of the story with outside guests and phone conversations with experts, but by the end of each such segment, we were just left thinking, “why are we hearing from this person again?!”… not effective. Additionally, the audio just plain sucked. The recorded court scenes were garbled most of the time, you couldn’t really decipher the content, and many times didn’t even know who was talking. Yes, the host introduced the clips, but somehow, none of these introductions seemed to land. Also the volume levels for each type of audio should have been mixed properly so that you don’t have to keep fiddling with your volume to hear low parts or shield your ears from louder segments. And, we could really have used better judgement when editing. Was it necessary for us to have to sit through the little part about the guy getting the grease off his hamburger meat before the host and him started talking about the case? No. It just made me forget what was happening. Just pretty bad all around. Kind of expect a little better from Audiochuck.
