Great Loop Radio: Looping Solo

I love the content. Last time I listened the audio quality was very ‘AM’

Sound Equipment

Lots of good useful information. The presenters are usually well informed and interesting. A must for anyone planning to do the Great Loop cruise. The podcast could benefit greatly from more professional production techniques. The sound quality is far below the level of other podcasts. The presenters are often left to ramble with no guidance from hosts. Something more scripted would allow a more coherent presentation. Also there are too many &#34;hosts&#34; who often interrupt each other and there guests. Whether it is the sound recording technology or voice quality, when the host named Janice speaks her voice is very loud and screechy, overpowering all others onthepodcast.

Good info
