Customer Reviews
Microphone Issues? Audio Levels?
I’m a U.S. listener that actually tends to really like this podcast and the variety of
topics you talk about but am I the only person that hears the audio issues?! When more than about 2 people are on the show, half are so quiet it’s inaudible and half are so loud that they’re yelling at you. It’s hard to find a volume balance to listen at and I end up missing a lot of what is said. Please fix this if you can! Other than that, I enjoy listening to what I actually can hear.
Good conversation!
Love it. I’ll put this in my rotation.
