My own work...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast!
I have noticed a variation in the volume of different mics. I often have to turn up the volume for a low mic, and then a loud mic or intro will really hit me! Lol In headphones it can be painful. Lol
I love everything about this podcast and that experience is the only downside.”
