  • Technical issues

    I used to think that the guests' connection was poor but I'm starting to believe that it's Brian/the home studio's connectivity is poor and recording that poor reception onto the podcast.

    I love the show but you have got to fix Tony's microphone, fades in and out throughout the whole show.

  • Audio needs improvement, otherwise great

    Guest audio is almost always poor, which for drivers, crew chiefs, and others makes some sense. Poor quality audio from Tony Pedregon’s end is inexcusable, he’s a professional broadcaster at this point.

  • Guest mic levels

    Love this show!!! One thing I noticed the last couple weeks is that the guests boxes are almost washed out due to what sounds like mic levels peaking constantly. Can that be adjusted?
