  • Great podcast but some audio issues

    Love it, such a great podcast but the audio isn't great. Especially with guests, frequently turning up and down the speaker because the hosts are easy to hear but the guests often seem to speak away from the microphone or are very quiet and I can barely hear them.

  • Love it, some audio issues though.

    Loved this pod. Such sensible and informative stuff for Dads (and Mums). Such a shame the audio is a bit tricky to hear the docs in the first few eps. Missed a few key points, so would be great if some audio magic could happen??? Keep it up boys.
