Hoover podcasts
I enjoy all the Hoover podcasts BUT, there is the problem of audio quality . The sound engineers need to do some serious improvement . Listen to your podcasts . The most recent with Peter Robinson and Victor David Hansen was completely unintelligible! Please do something , your sound quality should match your content.
Always something interesting.
Was thrilled to find an intellectual and conservative group of thinkers, always a new take on important and interesting issues. Hoover podcasts have become something i look forward to regularly and a favorite source of listening material.
