1000 episodes in and Derek is still using a PC mic.
for as many podcasts as all the Illini websites do, I'm done listening to them when you don't bother to use a legitimate mic.
Howard is done. Bad choice.
Joey, get a good mic.
This reinforced my decision to unfollow recruiting, what a mess.

Your daughter brought back memories. A podcaster in the making :)
