Good service, needs work

I really appreciate the stories that you all run, but my goodness the audio needs some work. You’re half the volume of any other podcast, the music is louder than the voices, different segments are at different levels; heck even different people in the same segment are at different levels. The dress & appearance piece was the most egregious, but none of the episodes are particularly well-engineered.

Ending?

Hate that y’all are stopping the podcast. It was part of my daily morning routine.

Don’t stop

Thank you for providing the defense news! It’s a great way to start the day until I can get to the email or on most days, don’t have time to get to the email. Please don’t stop the EBB podcast.

Thank you.
