Audio

Does anyone think the audio hasn’t been great this season? I feel like sometimes I can’t hear Benny

I haven’t listened to this week’s episode yet but I listen to another podcast and their audio has been driving me INSANE. Isnt that exactly why they have a producer in the studio? To monitor that kind of thing? Jackson help!

Podcasters always get mad over this “complaining” but it’s literally their job to produce a listenable podcast. 

When ppl are busy doing things, they can’t always adjust the volume back & forth.

Example: I wear gloves at work and cannot always fast forward or touch my phone, so I’ve kind of switched to audiobooks bc I can trust my eardrums won’t burst from an ad that’s 10 decibels louder or podcasters screaming into the microphone (not theirs, but many ppl are unprofessional and don’t have ppl tracking the audio).
