Good content, just can’t hear it well sometimes

I love the feeling of most of these conversations, even (& perhaps especially) the ones that make me uncomfortable. I was confused by the inclusion of Lil Nas X in the last conversation, because there was an implication that he did something wrong, which I didn’t follow at all.
One other critique I have is that I often feel the background music is a bit too loud, and it makes it difficult to hone in on the actual content.
