Make it louder!!

Low-volume robotic-like monotonous narrator takes some getting used to but content is good. They really need to fix the volume and make it louder because you can’t hear unless volume is at 10 and then the mid-roll advertisements are deafeningly loud.

Terrible audio levels

Great show, very well written. Audio levels are beginner level terrible… requires nearly full volume to hear the story but be ready for the ad breaks, these are at a “normal” level and will rupture an ear drum if the sound isn’t turned down in time. Level your levels!
