I'm very much disappointed in this podcast. The subject matter deserves a clear and audible delivery of interviews and narration. The primary issue is volumes. If I leave my sound at a normal level I can not hear clearly what is being said. If I turn the volume up so I can hear the interviews and narration then the commercials blow out my ear drums. Please work on providing consistent audible delivery on your podcast. Bless these boys.
