  • Great show but…

    I don’t know if the interviewer needs to turn his mic up or talk louder. I can barely hear or understand the questions and then the coach’s voice blows my speakers out. Makes it very hard to listen to without adjusting the volume over and over again.

    The audio quality is so bad I actually can’t listen to this podcast. The guests and content are decent, but it sounds so bad that I can’t listen
