Introduce

Frankly, if anybody else spoke about the car swapping and the car purchasing, you would think he was a liar. This comes across as sincere and truthful.

One suggestion, please take some time to interview Matt like you had him do you.

Can you go back to older sound recording

I love the show - great guests, hosts, banter. The quality of recording has taken a step back of late. It now sounds like it’s in an echoey room rather than on a high quality microphone. Small gripe for otherwise entertaining show

Great Banter, fix the audio!

Great discussion with an interesting host and an eclectic blend of guests. Unfortunately, I turn it off because of the poor audio quality. An upgrade of equipment and/or space would do wonders for this podcast.
