I really like the content, details and information about current missions and discoveries.
Unfortunately, it’s more often than not really difficult to listen to and follow due to low recording quality. I understand that not all guests have good equipment, but the hosts could maybe invest a little to improve quality. For starters, that‘s possible for well below 100 bucks. ;-)
Would love to hear and learn more on current SETI technical challenges or problems and solutions, thanks
