  • Host too loud

    Good podcast, but the host audio is almost always much louder than the guests. Annoying.

  • Lower your treble and back off the mic! ...and your blast repeating of what your guest just said is most annoying . I hope those ill-prepared dumbasses pay for their rescue and it's not costing me for their often selfish, ignorant mistakes. Half these people should stay on the couch!

    4 for effort as usual!
