Has definitely improved

I have always liked the format of the podcast. The on site interviews are entertaining and informative. As mentioned in many other reviews, the early audio needed help. I usually listen to podcasts while I work. For the longest time I couldn’t hear the episodes. Over the last few months, the audio has definitely gotten better. I can hear the episodes enough to enjoy them.

Episode 170

Thank you for the thoughtful and eloquent thoughts on episode 170. Love the deep dive into purpose and why we pursue the passions we pursue, and maintain the relationships we have with people and dogs alike.

Great podcast

Durrell is just a real guy living with and learning from his dogs. For a guy like me who is training his first dog with aspirations of building his own kennel of retrievers (not even pointers) I learn something from EVERY podcast. His is must listening for me.
