Very good interviews, poor audio

17.04.2023

Cpinelli

I have loved Donovan since his appearances on the Tim and Sid show. He does a great job tackling issues not often discussed as well as balancing mainstream interest. One gripe I have is the audio production. Donovan is almost always too quiet in every episode and the most recent episode where Elliotte Friedman was interviewed, Elliotte was virtually incomprehensible. More care and attention needs to be paid in producing a better listen in a solely audio medium.
