Customer Reviews
Love it but sound/haptics
I love the Roundtable but I am begging you guys to turn off your the sounds from notifications/alerts during recordings 🙏. It makes me keep checking my email and slack. Please just turn on do not disturb.
The Roundtabke
Awful! I tune in to hear about baseball. Everyone on there seems to hate baseball. Grant is so bad, like he hates being there.
Too casual for a bunch of nobodies
Literally not a single person cares about your personalities or thinks you are funny. We only listen to hear about baseball. Take five minutes before you record to stretch all the cringe out then get to the actual point when you record. I promise we have no interest in indulging your woefully unfunny sense of irony. Wont listen again
