  • Great content, terrible sound quality

    I really like the content, so interesting and well explained. We always need to keep on top of the latest trends. Unfortunately the sound is terrible, the sound levels are very bad and hard to listen to with headphones. They need to book a studio.

  • Poor audio quality :(

    I love listening to these podcasts as a CFE myself, but it does need some improvement in the audio quality. It’s not quite clear, it sounds as if the person was talking from afar.

  • I’m late to the game

    Just found this podcast - and am happy to have so much listening to do.

    I love the real life examples/case studies of seemingly upstanding people committing fraud. Gotta keep your radar up when you’re running a business.
