I really like the program since I came across it 4 episodes ago. I rave about this to all my friends and share it. I find that it is pertinent in many of my conversations to say, “I was just listening to Oklahoma Observer podcast and they were talking about this, have you heard them? You should, let me send you a link. Specifically, *this* was mentioned…” All that to say, but the sound quality does make it hard to hear. I can consider the dogs in the background as being homey and that doesn’t bother me, but sometimes it sounds like the person is underwater or they have a tinny quality and it just is not coming through in a clear manner and makes it difficult to understand and follow. I don’t have a problem listening to it repeatedly, but fear that others I share it with will not give it a chance.
