Customer Reviews
Fix the extremely irregular volume levels
I enjoy the podcast and learn a fair bit but sometimes there’s too much frivolous banter. While listening in the car I’m frequently maxing out the volume to hear some people and then one of the hosts or the music/sound effects come back and I get blasted. Please fix this.
Adderall
Take less.
Well worth the listen
I may be biased. Just a bit ;p
Thanks for pressing play.
