Customer Reviews
Fantastic Podcast
It takes a special talent, to be an outstanding athlete, have a wealth of knowledge and present it in a interesting way
Poor production values
I enjoy your guests but usually don’t make it through an entire episode and will likely unsubscribe. The production
value is so poor that I find listening to the podcast stressful and unpleasant. The incessant background noise from your movements being picked up by your mic, the wild volume swings in your voice as you move around/jostle your mic, the lack of muting at your end, etc. make for a very tough listen. I think you could improve the audio significantly without much effort and suggest you get someone with a bit more experience to show you the basics. Good luck with the podcast!
