Get help

Love the podcast but the audio can be terrible sometimes. Please ask the nerds in the basement of the science building to help you with this. I’m certain this is what we need!

Great Podcast

I love listening to your podcast. I’ve learned a lot. I have to ask you both to speak louder. I listen while I bike in NYC and I have the volume all
The way up but can hardly hear you guys. Keep up the great work

Enjoyable Podcast

I took a break from listening to this podcast when my life changed and didn’t have the time to listen. Recently got back into the podcast and it is as great as I remember.
