Customer Reviews
Lost credibility, poor sound
I like the content, but Chuck loses journalistic credibility when he asks his audience to "rate the podcast five stars, or don't rate at all". What is that? Talk about encouraging biased results. Geeeze. Also, the sound quality is still poor. The volume difference between the host in the guests makes it really hard to listen to.
Hard to hear?
The sound quality seems really weak. Maybe the phone line needs an upgrade or maybe my hearing does.
Poor sound quality
Love the content. But the sound quality is poor. Other podcasts, all the guests can be heard. Here I have the volume on full, & still struggle to hear. I enjoy the topics, guests, & host, La Cheeserie!
Update: sound quality is now worse than before, the June 9 episode "Nixon" is unbearably poor audio quality. Sorry I have to unsubscribe.
