Customer Reviews
Boersma
Great interview, but sound quality sub-par. Can we not invest a few $ in a sound quality upgrade?
Insightful but poor sound quality
Upgrading the sound quality would make the podcast significantly more listenable and shouldn’t be all that expensive
Great content, bad sound
This is an amazing podcast. But either the host (usually mark bauerline) or the guest is loud and clear, while the other is quiet and unclear. It’s distracting to what should be a wonderful podcast
