Insightful and entertaining

Vu, Manny and the guys have grown a great show!

Each episode will give listeners great conversation on the Porsche brand overall, detailed chats about any number of vehicle developments in technology & performance, and updates on all of the big club events.

I’ve been a life-long lover of the 911, and the well of technical & detail knowledge Vu, Manny, Rob, and Damon all possess on these cars is really remarkable.

If you’re just discovering the Porsche badge, just joined the Porsche world, or if you’re a passionate Porschephile, all comers are welcomed by the crew and will glean helpful, detailed information spanning the offerings from Porsche.

The one thing I’d note I hope the guys explore is testing out some post-audio processing for their episodes to see how they can resolve their audio level disparity... The conversations sometimes are hard to hear, requiring cranking up the sound with one or more of the folks speaking off-mic, only to be blasted out by a response or laugh from another of the guys.

My career includes years working in sound design and audio production for television and radio, and I’d recommend trying some mild compression, peak leveler, and final volume normalization - these will really perfect the sound of the pod.

Keep up the great shows guys, your content is indelible!
