Rico Brogna: A New York Mets Podcast

Thank you Evan

Evan, you guys have such great content! The sound quality is unbearable, though. Maybe Pete can mute when you’re talking?? All your hard work is being lost to what could be a simple fix. I’d be happy to share how I’ve made things sound better on my podcast, if it would helpful. Love the Mets. Love your takes on the Mets. Don’t love the audio quality.

I enjoy the show and Evan Roberts has always been one of my favorite WFAN hosts but the podcast is sadly lacking in the technology department. The commercials during the podcast are three to five louder than the actual content, which necessitates constant adjustments to the volume dial on my car radio. Worse than that, Pete Hoffman’s feed is regulated by a limiter with a slow release time, that allows the first word or two from his lips being overmodulated and annoyingly loud, and then, once the limiter kicks in, he is barely audible. This was heard to great effect on the “cough, sneeze and belch” podcast where every gastric utterance from Hoffman sounded like an amplified sewer backing up, because there wasn’t enough time for the limiter to do its thing.
