Love the content, hate the sound quality.
First let me say, I love this podcast for its content & the breadth and depth of the subject matter. I’ve learned so much and for months looked forward to listening to each new episode. So I hate saying anything bad about it but unfortunately I have to, because it has become unlistenable. I love less that there are sponsors this season (which, I understand that you need to monetize, but could you do it in a way that it doesn’t feel like you’re tailoring your content to reflect what Pantene wants you to say?) but the thing I can’t stand, this season even more than the last, is the variation in sound quality. I’ve had to stop listening to this podcast because of the insane variations in sound quality and volume between each speaker. Even between the two hosts, every time someone talks I either have to turn my sound all the way up or all the way down and it’s exhausting. Whether I’m in my car, walking to work, doing the dishes, etc, I don’t have the ability to keep up with the sound levels of what I’m listening to like it’s a game of high speed Tetris. My partner is a sound designer & podcast sound engineer so I know that this is something that is deeply fixable, whether through equipment or a dedicated sound person, which is what makes it all the more frustrating coming from a place like Allure and not from two people in their garage (where a budgetary constraint that significantly prohibits sound quality would be understandable).

Perfect beauty podcast. The hosts are smart, sharp, knowledgeable and stay out of the guest’s way. The topics are exactly what I’ve wanted explained in plain English for a long time. There are countless beauty/skincare topics to explore so I hope this podcast continues for a long time!
