Apple Podcasts5Finley grantUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Commercials are TOO LOUD
Maybe you guys need the money but the volume on the commercials should be turned down! Your show is well produced so why can't you manage turning Down the commercials!!
Makes your production seem cheap. Commercials turned up so loud are very invasive and tell your advertisers the only thing we wanna do is turn your podcast off when we get invaded by a loud commercial!
