Customer Reviews
Great content but horible audio
I really like this show but the audio quallity makes it near imposible to listen.
The leveles are all over the place. I have to crank my player up to max to hear the quiet parts and then have my ears blown away when someone laugs or gets a little loud.
Take your audio seriously. invest in some inexpensive mics and stands, a mixer and do some post recording compression and equilization.
You wouldn't want to put up a video that was out of focus and grainy would you?
